The `java.awt.event.Thread.start` method is used to start a new thread in Java's Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) event model. This method is typically called to initiate a new thread that enables the concurrent processing of events in an AWT-based graphical user interface (GUI) application. When this method is invoked, the system allocates necessary resources and calls the thread's `run` method, which contains the code to be executed in the thread. By starting a new thread, developers can ensure that time-consuming tasks, such as database access or network communication, do not block the main GUI thread and create a non-responsive user interface.
