hyperthreading has nothing to do with rewire directly. "hyperthreading" CPU makes your OS believe it has 2 or more processors.
so if you want to take advantages u need to have these requirements:
1. your OS must know how to work with many CPUs
2. your application must use "threads" - and what they are you must 1st know what processes are...
if either is not met - you won't be able to use the advantagtes of "hyperthreading"CPU.
"process" - is shortly a running program with all its environment: code, data, open files & virtual memory.
example during your usage u can have 2 processes of internet explorer that use the same executable, but have diff. process numbers.
and "thread" is something under the process:
you can divide a process into several threads.
this is usefull, believe me. |
