Apache web server documentation says prefork mpm implements a non-threaded, pre-forking web server. And I'm a little bit confused about the term 'non-threaded'.

Is 'non-threaded' a synonym of 'single threaded'?

    Roughly. There will be one thread per process. You'll however have a lot of processes. It is intended as a solution to a web server that needs to use code that is not thread-safe. Isolating the state of that code in each separate process makes it thread-safe. – Hans Passant Oct 11 '16 at 14:24
  • A "Routine" is perhaps the word you're looking for. – Krythic Oct 11 '16 at 14:49
