METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANAGING SUSPENSION AND RESUMPTION OF THREAD ON MULTITHREAD APPLICATIONS

PURPOSE: A method and a device for managing suspension and resumption of a thread on multithread applications are provided to manage execution of the thread on an information processing system, which is equipped with an OS(Operating System) kernel and a user process including multiple execution threads, depending on respective standards. CONSTITUTION: An originating thread issues a service request to the OS kernel in order to transmit a signal to suspend or resume the execution of a target thread to the target thread in the same process. Transferring control from a normal execution program part to a signal interrupt routine in the target thread, the OS kernel transmits a thread-stop signal to the target thread. As the control is received, the signal interrupt routine transmits the service request to the OS kernel in order to stop the target thread.
