Go to www.google.com and type "define:process" or "define:thread" into the search field. Then ignore any definitions that are not computer-related.

[Emil Velez]

a process is a container for files, memory and has 1 or more scheduled threads. Since HPUX 10.20 HPUX has scheduled threads but a process can only have one thread. Since HPUX 11.0 HPUX processes can have multiple threads in a single process. Some applications take advantage of this but a application has to be written to utilize threads in a programming language like C or Java.

There are a few things like midaemon, vxfsd and a few other items that are multithreaded.
