Why at Linux installation i get soft lock on cpu0 or cpu1?
This is usually due to a bug in a kernel module. Try a different version of your distro, and if the problem is no longer present, file a bug report on the affected version.
Can the execution speed of a task improve by having many processors?
Multiprocessor machines boost the performances of multithreaded applications. As long as the application you are trying to speed up is multi-threaded, you will see a performance boost, as it can send some threads to CPU1, and some to CPU2, and finish much quicker. Older, legacy applications were not designed for multi threading, and can only be sent to one processor or the other, so perhaps solitaire will not perform any better with two processors, or older versions of photoshop, and the like may not benefit, but most modern software can take advantage of multi threading.
What is difference between multi tasking and multiprogramming?
MultiTasking:In MultiTasking operating system, several jobs are executed in parallel by the operating system, through multiple processors (or) CPUs only.Like .CPU1: Job-ACPU2: Job-BCPU3: Job-CMultiprogramming :The method of Multiprogramming systems comes in the 1960s. In that process several different programs in batch were loaded in the computer memory, and the first one began to run. One program after another executed when the first program reached an instruction waiting for a device that has a message, the context of this program was stored away, and the second program in memory was given a chance to run. The process continued until all programs finished running.By : er.karthikchawda@gmail.com
