java green thread,Green Thread

What is Green Thread.

The Wikipedia article Green Threads explains it very well.

In a nutshell,Green threads are "user-level threads". They are scheduled by an "ordinary" user-level process, not by the kernel. So they can be used to simulatemulti-threading on platforms that don't provide that capability.

JVM

Green threads were abandoned in the Sun JVM for Linux as of the release of version 1.3 (see Java[tm] Technology on the Linux Platform). That dates back to 2000.

Erlang VM

Erlang doesn't use "Green Threads" but rather something closer to "Green Processes": processes do not share data memory directly but do so by "copying" it (i.e. having independent copies of the source data).

Akka

Akka号称JVM上的Erlang.  如果 Green Thread的概念是正确的，对于 Akka来说，打击会是致命的
