dual core vs. dual processor
Posted by Ben Markson on November 10th, 2005


when a game comes out that says: "supports true simultaneous
multithreading" on the cover, which will run it faster? a system
with two processors that have a "single" core or a system that
has a dual core on one processor?

also, if you're running a dual core (two cores on 1 processor)
will Home edition take full advantage of this for the software?

thanks!

There is only one processor and even if there are multi threads running
in the program each thread must get it's slice of processing time on the
processor as other threads must wait their turn to use the processor.

The Windows O/S uses threads itself to run so an application running its
own threads is not going to make a difference to the O/S.

If a program is using dual processors, then the program is going to be
developed/designed to use the dual processors. Just because a machine has
dual processors doesn't mean the program is going to use that technology.

I don't know if the game is using "multithreading" to mean
"hyperthreading" which I believe is an Intel trademark, but if it is
refering to hyperthreading then yes, I believe support has to be built
into the software to take advantage of the dual core to increase the
ammount of data processed per cycle. Otherwise, you won't see a benefit
from the second core.

But I haven't read up on this stuff too much so I could be way wrong.

One other thing FakeAss then I am going to leave your dumb ass alone.

I started in the IT field in 1971 on the IBM mainframes, moved to
programming in 1980 and moved back and forth on the mainframe and client
server environments until 1996 when I moved completely to the MS platform.
Now, I am .Net certified and writing .Net applications starting with writing
C # .Net Windows Services, ASP.Net and Windows desktop applications using
Web Services and I am still going strong.

And they are paying me some long long long $$$$$$ for my expertise. I
already know that I have seen more, done more and I have forgotten more
than your dumb ass will every know.

You see stupid, it's not what you know. It's do you know how to go find and
apply the information when you need it and not keep that shit locked up in
your brain leading to a brain fart. And Google is a good tool to get
information as I am not about to repeat the same GOD DAMN thing over and
over to people. I'll point them to it or tell them to go find it when needed
and if one has any sense, then he or she will be able to figure it out as it
doesn't take a rocket scientist to do it.

It's fools like you that try to prove this, that and the other about how
much you know and you actually had the GOD DAMN ordasity to try and get in
my face with your little chicken shit take on things.

I'll see you around you punk-ass little *Bitch*.

You think I am mad but I am not. I just like dogging and cussing fools like
him out and having a little fun.

If you ever have seen the TV show the Black Sheep Squadron and know who
SGT. Mickland is that's kind of me.

through with the tests for now.

Let me tell you about (you) Plastic Jim. You're the type of person that
if you see someone getting robbed, you'll try and be a man stand-up and
show a little spine and come to the rescue. You'll get shot dead but the
robbie will say Plastic Jim was a hell of a man and had a spine. I know
you don't. Now, if you were being robbed, you'll piss in your pants, beg
for your life and still get shot because you had a plastic spine.

Fakename, FakeAss, and FakeSpine = Fake Plastic Jim (you).

And unlike the fake 1337 which an Internet fool like you will use,
Plastic Jim is a little deeper as written and sung by Sly.

And you're a true Plastic Jim -- look it up use *Google*. You may have
to download it and play it to listen about you.

Sheriff with the FakeName and Plastic Spine.

Later!

It's the psychology of an insecure usenet troll who realizes he doesn't
look as smart as he thought he did.

I don't pull any punches. If someone get's on my wrong side, I will dog them
out. I don't go after people but I will protect myself and I will go on the
attack when need be. I have been in this NG helping people for a long time.
This *clown* Fake???? has just shown up recently and is nobody as far as I
am concerned. You can tell what a person is about by the name he or she
uses. That name tells a lot about ones character and the name *Fake* in it
should tell one a lot about him. I never came after this *clown* he came
after me. I was minding my own business and *BAM* here is this *clown*.

People who are still left in this NG after the snake pit it turned into and
still is just that as far as I am concerned as long as K-Mammy-Nasty is here
know that I don't mess with someone unless I have been messed with first and
that fool did just that. He runs his mouth and slithers like the snake that
he is about.

But in the meantime, it just the Internet no more and no less and it is just
not that serious. However, for some people apparently, this is the only
thing they have in life. <g>

<You're a drunk *clown* 24/7 365 K-School-Mammy that needs a life.>

the worthless posts that I don't read.>

your worthless posts.>

<I don't see why you can't figure it out.>

<Why don't you and FakeAss hook up and communicate? He is someone that
doesn't have a spine, life or sex in a while and neither have you and you
can run right over him and control the situation.>

<You do seem a little protective. <g>>

<Both of you are *Fake* and it's a perfect match.>

<Stop taking to me as I am not intrested in you as much as you want me to
be. <g>>

<The only worth you would have to me is if I could turn you out and put
you on the streets.>

After listening to quite a few of your rants I have to wonder: is your
condition natural or the result of a head injury?
