In [[computer science]], The '''System Contention Scope<ref>Silberschatz, Abraham, and Peter B. Galvin. "Thread Scheduling." Operating System Concepts. 8th ed. Hoboken, NJ: J. Wiley & Sons, 2005. 199. Print.</ref>''' is one of two [[Scheduling (computing)|thread-scheduling schemes]] used in [[operating system]]s. This scheme is used by the [[Kernel (operating system)|kernel]] to decide which [[Thread (computing)|kernel-level thread]] to schedule onto a CPU, wherein all threads (as opposed to only user-level threads, as in the [[Process Contention Scope]] scheme) in the system compete for the CPU.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Butenhof |first1=David R. |title=Programming with POSIX Threads |date=1997 |publisher=Addison-Wesley Professional |isbn=978-0-201-63392-4 |page=181 |language=en}}</ref> Operating systems that use only the [[Thread (computing)|one-to-one model]], such as Windows, Linux, and Solaris, schedule threads using only System Contention Scope.
