- a mechanism for mapping _one_or_more_ userland threads (within the same process) to a kernel thread. Solaris (yes, I'm biased :-) uses the term lightweight process here (so, to contradict Dan, if I remember correctly, this is not the same thing).

Actually, I'm the one who said a Solaris [pthread] thread is not equivalent to a lightweight process. In Solaris, there are:

o Application [user] threads which run over one or more lightweight processes. o Lightweight processes which run on kernel threads o Kernel threads as the basic scheduling entity - these do not have to be mapped to an LWP
