BrokenThorn Entertainment • View topic - Pure multithreading/multicore processors?
Well I think my question is pretty much covered in the title lol..
Im the kind of person that can find ways around stuff so im not asking how to do locks on objects and all that stuff that comes along with that.. Just how do I start execution of something on another processor? Oh and how do I find out how many processors are installed on the system?
The CPUID instruction can be used to find out how many cores are present. You will have to find the documentation relevent to the processor you are writing your code for because the CPUID instruction is vender-dependant.
