Process Contention Scope is a scheme used to map a user-level thread to a 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.
