On 17 Dec, Dan Kegel scribbled: -> -> And you might want to modify your statement that threads always run on the same -> CPU...
ok ok... someone explai n.. do threads spawned form a signle proces get schedules across multiple cpus? ie i have process 200 and i spawn 2 threads to do a task - do those hreads rn simultaneously on both cpu's of a 2-way box? that's what my original "ant" on my page is about - i was informed by a reasonably reliable source that threads on linux spawned by a single process (and in my case the library would spawn them silently during a rendering chunk to get the chunk done faser) - do the threads for a single process run on 2 or moe cpus at one - not get swithce between cpus and run on one or the other at any point in time.. but both ? (ie REAL smp as oppoed to multiprogramming that is he case on UP boxes)
???????????? i'm following the thread ans well - to date i have no answres one way or the other that make sense?
