Multi Processor

Post by prodome »

Hi,,

How can i get all processors work wih any arbitrary program?

is it only possible when using more than one thread?
is it possible with simple programs that have just one thread?

thank you in advance

For modern processors it is impossible to spread a thread between 2 or more CPUs. So the programm should be aware about several CPUs.

i see.

that means i need at least 2 threads in order to take advantage of two cpus?

or is there a different way of making the program aware of it?
