A threaded entry method is an entry method for a chare that executes in a separate user-level thread. It is useful when the entry method wants to suspend itself (for example, to wait for more data). Note that threaded entry methods have nothing to do with kernel-level threads or pthreads; they run in user-level threads that are scheduled by Charm++ itself.
