A Mach *thread* belongs to exactly one [[task]], and is the means of execution.
The task supplies the resources.
-Mach threads are implemented inside the [[kernel]], as opposed to other
-systems' user-level thread packages.
+Mach threads are implemented inside the [[kernel]], like in many operating
+systems, unlike some user-level thread packages (aka "green" threads).
A thread (theoretically) runs concurrently with all the other threads of a
system. If the system provides several processors, they can be used for
