Thread Support Library

A Thread Support Library is a collection of tools and functions that help software manage multiple tasks, called threads, running simultaneously within a program. It enables efficient multitasking, allowing different parts of a program to work independently or cooperate without conflicts. This library handles creating, synchronizing, and terminating threads, ensuring that they share resources safely and operate smoothly. Think of it as a manager that coordinates various workers (threads) so they collaborate efficiently, improving program performance and responsiveness, especially on modern computers with multiple cores.
