A sequence of executing instructions that run within a program. Each program has at least one thread. Each thread has a separate call stack and can access its own local storage. Threads can be run in parallel on a computer with multiple processors, improving performance.

Rational Runtime Analysis tools support multi-threaded applications that are built on top of Windows threads.
