'''Process Contention Scope''' is a scheme used to map a user-level [[thread (computer science)|thread]] to a [[kernel (computer science)|kernel]]-level thread. The name is derived from the fact that the processes and threads are contending for a kernel process.

The [[operating system]] decides which kernel thread to run based on a scheme called [[System Contention Scope (SCS)]] since the threads are contending for the processor.
