Using multiple single-threaded processes still counts as parallelism, sure, but please don't set a precedent for using the term "multithreading" to mean something other than "using multiple threads". Nobody who works professionally on these sorts of problems would understand "multithreading" in the way that you're using it. (The term is overloaded enough as it is, given that it glosses over the distinction between user-space and OS threads...)
- nailer 13y agoI understand your point, but there are people who'd argue non-OS 'threads' aren't actually threads either - if ps -eLF doesn't show more than 1 LWPs for your PID you're not considered multithreaded.
