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.
Can also be defined as the following : 1) Other threads you competes with for CPU time 2) Process conteniton scope: just compete with other threads in the same process vs System Contention Scope where they compete with threads in other processes.
