Sun Studio 12 Update 1: Performance Analyzer

LWP Selection

LWPs are numbered from 1 to N, and you can select any set of LWPs. The selection consists of a comma-separated list of LWP numbers or ranges. If synchronization data is recorded, the LWP reported is the LWP at entry to a synchronization event, which might be different from the LWP at exit from the synchronization event.

On Linux systems, threads and LWPs are synonymous.
