Hyper-threading

Willy,

I don't know if we agree or disagree from your text.

However from the first more advanced computers and the more advanced OS we
have had by instance IO processors, who took over partial processing of the
processor, however where in fact doing multiprocessing.

I won't call this as a feature from the application. It is behaviour of the
OS, Hardware or whatever feature that is added and is not an special feature
from the created application, as I thought is told more in this thread.
Applications that did benefits from those features where never called
multiprocessor applications.

Only when the application has things as multithreading or remoting itself,
than it can benefit as application extra from the hyperthreading (or
multiprocessors) and can you call it in my opinion a feature of the
application.

Just my thought,

Cor
 
Thx Cor,

that is what I wanted to hear: MT is provided by the hardware, not by any
software. If anyone is telling me that his software is MT or supporting it I
know what he really wants to say.

HT not MT, MT is done by the application.

From HT (on an Operating System that support it) is benefiting every
application.

HyperThreading is as well called using more processors, what the concurents
of Intel say, that Intel did.
They have made two (ore more) processors in one chip.

I ment HT....I got the picture.
