Multi threading on modern computers enables the processor to handle multiple tasks at once. This effect allows the computer to perform faster, as tasks do not have to wait as long to be completed.

What is the name of intel technology that allows a processor to handle multiple threads at the same time?

Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) is the brand under which Intel markets a generation of processors that can increase efficiency by improving multi-task processing, and are ideal in multi-threaded environments.


About multi threading in Java?

multi threading is used ,when we use no.of threads at one time the system will not support to run the multi threads ,in that case multi threading is used to solve the problem occured in threading multi tasking.

Significance of pragma directives in the program?

Pragma directive forces processor to use specific advantages for particular processors such as Hyper Threading, multi cores and so on.


What is quard core?

A quad core is one component (computer chip) consisting of multiple cores (computer processors). Processors were originally developed only using one core. If you wanted to do multiprocessing you needed to have two processors in your computer which meant having a special motherboard that could support multiple processors. The new processors (referred to as Multi-Core processors) are simply a single chip with two or more processors.


What is the general name requirement for running multiple processor?

The general name requirement for running multiple processors is often referred to as "multi-core" or "multi-processor" systems. These systems can utilize multiple processing units to improve performance by executing multiple tasks simultaneously. Typically, they require a compatible motherboard, sufficient RAM, and a power supply capable of supporting the increased demands of multiple processors. Additionally, the operating system must support multi-threading and multi-processing to effectively manage the workload across the processors.


What type of latest techniques are used in new processors?

The newest models of CPUs are starting to consider architectural reworkings of everything we know about processors-- This is coming hand-in-hand with the reworkings of other computer components as we approach the limits of matter. Downsizing techniques are expected to be the trend for the time being, with Intel working at a 22 NANO-meter scale, while AMD is working at 32. Intel's next leap is either 16 or directly to 14 nanometer, continuing a processor improvement trend highlighted by Moore's Law: Moore's Law is the observation that over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. - Wikipedia, cited from CNet News New processors generally all favor threading over raw per-core performance, and are built in order to utilize higher and higher program threading (Splitting the computer's workload into smaller 'streams' of data) This directly feeds into yet another technique used by Intel, AMD, and ARM for their processors-- Multi-core processors and Hyper-Threading (HT). Threading programs better utilizes multiple processor cores (Or to more efficiently utilize each individual core, in the case of Hyper-Threading) on a multi-core platform, lending to an ever increasingly powerful overall processor.

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.
