I have an executable file compiled in C that does numerically intensive
calculations that I use as a benchmark of computer performance.
I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2.
When I run it on one computer Task Manager shows a CPU Usage History of 100 %.
On my computer at home Task Manager shows a CPU Usage History of 50 - 51 %
only with "Idle processes" making up the balance.
System Properties >>> Performance options >>> Prcessjor scheduling is set to
best performance of programs.
System Properties >>> Performance options >>> memory usage is set to best
performance of programs.
The one at WORK is a 1.8 GHz Centrino processor.
The one at home (that only shows 50 % CPU usage) is a Pentuim 4 2.4 GHz, 800
MHz FSB chip."
Both are single core chips of course, and the executable runs on a single
thread.
Does anyone know what is going on and why I can't get the CPU to work 100 %
on my executable?
Thanx
Doug
