  2. Hyper-threading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading

    Architecturally, a processor with Hyper-Threading Technology consists of two logical processors per core, each of which has its own processor architectural state. Each logical processor can be individually halted, interrupted or directed to execute a specified thread, independently from the other logical processor sharing the same physical core ...

  3. Process Lasso - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Lasso

    These algorithms help to control how processes are allocated to CPU cores. Numerous additional automation capabilities exist, including disallowed processes and application power plans. The paid (Pro) version has some extra features, such as the ability to run the core engine (Process Governor) as a system service. [6]

  4. CPU multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_multiplier

    In computing, the clock multiplier (or CPU multiplier or bus/core ratio) sets the ratio of an internal CPU clock rate to the externally supplied clock. This may be implemented with phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency multiplier circuitry. A CPU with a 10x multiplier will thus see 10 internal cycles for every external clock cycle. For example, a ...

  5. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer...

    A process with two threads of execution, running on a single processor . In computer architecture, multithreading is the ability of a central processing unit (CPU) (or a single core in a multi-core processor) to provide multiple threads of execution.

  6. Instruction-level parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction-level_parallelism

    ILP must not be confused with concurrency.In ILP, there is a single specific thread of execution of a process.On the other hand, concurrency involves the assignment of multiple threads to a CPU's core in a strict alternation, or in true parallelism if there are enough CPU cores, ideally one core for each runnable thread.

  7. Intel Turbo Boost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost

    The increased clock rate is limited by the processor's power, current, and thermal limits, the number of cores currently in use, and the maximum frequency of the active cores. [ 1 ] Turbo-Boost-enabled processors are the Core i3 , Core i5 , Core i7 , Core i9 and Xeon series [ 1 ] manufactured since 2008, more particularly, those based on the ...

  8. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    Each new processor added to the system will add less usable power than the previous one. Each time one doubles the number of processors the speedup ratio will diminish, as the total throughput heads toward the limit of 1/(1 − p). This analysis neglects other potential bottlenecks such as memory bandwidth and I/O bandwidth. If these resources ...

  9. Processor affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_affinity

    As other resources are also shared, processor affinity alone cannot be used as the basis for CPU dispatching. If a process has recently run on one virtual hyper-threaded CPU in a given core, and that virtual CPU is currently busy but its partner CPU is not, cache affinity would suggest that the process should be dispatched to the idle partner CPU.
