I have a new Pavilion Elite HPE with an Intel Quad-core I930 CPU.

 

To process data intensive operations, I understand that Dell's i930 Quad cores allow user at startup to

go to bios setup, and "disable multicore support" as an option.

 

by doing this the entire 4 cores are available to a single  application running heavy math functions (not just a single core).

 

BIG advantage-up to 4x faster, but I cannot find that option on my HP Bios setup.

 

Any IDEAS of how to do this?

 

THANKS!

The Intel i930 is enabled by default to use multiple cores and hyperthreading.  This will allow 8 threads to use the processors.

 

Most applications are single threaded applications internally.  However, some applications will detach asynchronous subtasks so that multiple processors can be use simultaneously.  Parallel processing is the most efficient use of multiple processors but the program and OS need to be designed for this type of processing.
