A session consists of all of the processes and other system objects that represent a single user’s logon session. 
These objects include all windows, desktops and windows stations.
A windows station is basically a security boundary to contain desktops and processes.


So, a session may contain more than one Windows Station and each windows station can have multiple desktops.

% psexec -s -i 3 E:\__tmp\CUDA\Benchmark\Release\benchmark -r
