Is there a way to know, at a real time, what threads are opened and what application opened them?

Through Windows Task Manager: Open Task Manager (press Ctrl+Shift+Esc) Select Performance tab. Look for Cores and Logical Processors (Threads)
Identifying the thread On Unix® and Linux® systems, you can use the top command: $ top -n 1 -H -p [pid]replacing [pid] with the process ID of the affected process. On Solaris®, you can use the prstat command: $ prstat -L -p [pid]replacing [pid] with the process ID of the affected process.
htop was designed to provide as much information as possible about what's going on in the system. As a result, it displays the user threads instead of hiding them. For example, system administrators can spot a problem in a multithreaded application while monitoring the CPU usage of its related threads.
You can look in /proc/<PID>/task/ (where <PID> is a process-ID) which will have a number of subdirectories, each with the name equal to the thread-ID of one of the threads in that task.
Note that this is only sort-of real-time though -- unless you were to "freeze" the entire system for the duration, the information you get can always be stale, because a process may create or destroy threads even as you're looking at the data.
