Microsoft Big Brains: Burton Smith

A dual core CPU has two cores: In Task Manager>Processes>R click a process>Set Affinity>select CPU numbers.I'm thinking that this is what dual core means,two CPU like things.There seems to be room for a total of 32.This function can be seen working in Task Manager>Performance>CPU History.Parallel processing might be that both CPU like things are running the same file at once.One CPU or two would make no difference.It ends up being a redundancy.Not much thought in this design.I think that the CPU like things are supposed to be automatically assigned as per a user choice.Something could be missing in the Task Manager.And by the way this CPU select shows that the file is running somewhat in the CPU.If one CPU is running at %100 select the other for the remaining files?; Posted by: BALTHOR Posted on: 04/23/09 (Edited: 04/23/2009 @ 02:46) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
