In computer programming, a virtual thread is a thread that is managed by a runtime library or virtual machine (VM) and made to resemble a kernel thread to code executing on it, while requiring substantially fewer resources than the latter. Virtual threads allows for tens of millions of preemptive tasks and events on a 2021 consumer-grade computer, compared to low thousands of operating system threads.
