I have read many questions here and several books on kotlin coroutines, but none answers the question of what a thread is. For example, I run an app on my huawei gr5, which has 4 cores. But people are talking about spawning 128 threads on the dispatcher.IO. Is this thread the same as the logical thread when we say an Intel i5 cpu has 6 cores and 12 threads or is it just a concept, a set of CPU instructions?

Thank you.

  • Does this answer your question? [What is a "thread" (really)?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5201852/what-is-a-thread-really) – Sam Nov 02 '22 at 08:50
  • I did read this, but was not sure if it is connected with kotlin coroutines in particular so I asked this question. – ntos Nov 02 '22 at 10:13
