User Threads
[ ] Thread management done by user-level threads library
[ ] No support from the kernel (The kernel is not aware of the existence of threads)
[ ] Fast to create and manage
[ ] Block all threads for a blocking system call if the kernel is single threaded
[ ] Cannot take advantage of multi-processors
 Three primary thread libraries:
 POSIX Pthreads
 Win32 threads
 Java threads
