well Aryan,THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COMPUTER PROCESS AND THREAD ARE -
COMPUTER PROCESS-1.To manipulate data in the computer. The computer is said to be processing no matter what action it is taking upon the data; whether the data is actually being updated in a database or just being displayed on screen.
2.In order to evaluate a computer system's performance, the time it takes to process data internally is often analyzed separately from the time it takes to get it in and out of the computer. The I/O (input/output) is usually more time consuming than the processing. For an explanation of how the computer processes data, see "Processing" under the term computer.
The actual running of a program module. If two instances of the same program are launched, two processes are running in the computer. When a computer is booted, numerous processes are started. Some are parts of the operating system, while others are applications that have been designated to run at startup.
In a Windows computer, pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del launches the Task Manager, which displays ALL RUNNING PROCESSES.
THREAD-1.A thread in computer science is short for a thread of execution. Threads are a way for a program to fork (or split) itself into two or more simultaneously (or pseudo-simultaneously) running tasks. Threads and processes differ from one operating system to another but, in general, a thread is contained inside a process and different threads in the same process share some resources while different processes do not.
2.On a multiprocessor or multi-core system, threading can be achieved via multiprocessing, wherein different threads and processes can run literally simultaneously on different processors or cores.

THESE DIFFERENCES ARE TAKEN FROM ---

A process will execute the threads(set of instructions), which may contain multiple threads sometimes.

THREAD
It contains a group of instructions that a processor has to do.

process is a execution of a program and program contain set of instructions but thread is a single sequence stream within the process.thread is sometime called lightweight process. single thread alows a os to perform singler task ata time

similarities between process and threads are:
1)share cpu.
2)sequential execution
3)create child
4)if one thread is blocked then the next will be start to run like process.

dissimilarities:
1)threads are not independent like process.
2)all threads can access every address in the task unlike process.
3)threads are design to assist onr another and process might or not might be assisted on one another.
