What type of application programs are not suitable for multi-threading? Explain.

Solution

Multi-threading is used to improve the performance of a program by deviding the problem into subparts and computing the subparts in parellel. So, application programs where the workflow of the program is sequential, we can not take advantage of multi-threading. so such sequential systems are not suitable for multi-threading. In sequential programs, the output data produced in initial phase of the program is used as input for next phases, so we can not break the problem into subparts and run them independently. Example is Inorder processor where all the stages in pipeline are performed in sequential manner. But, multi-threading can improve the performance in application programs where we can break a problem in parellel subproblems e.g Sorting.
