MULTITHREADING DEFINITION (continued): … sent by the operating system. Having two streams of execution units to work on allows more work to be done by the processor during each clock cycle. To the operating system, the Hyper-Threading microprocessor appears to be two separate processors. Because most of today's operating systems (such as Windows and Linux) are capable of dividing their work load among multiple processors (this is called symmetric multiprocessing or SMP), the operating system simply acts as though the Hyper-Threading processor is a pool of two processors. Intel notes that existing code will run correctly on a processor … Multithreading definition sponsored by WhatIs.com, powered by WhatIs.com an online computer dictionary
