07-05-06 / 14:15 : OSX 10.5 Leopard : advanced multithreading (cjed) | As reported from Macosrumors, Apple worked with Intel to improve multitasking in MacOSX, using the new features from the Intel core chips. The Mach kernel always uses the porwerful symetric multiprocessing principle, however beyond four processor cores the number of application threads to manage may be too small to fill all of the available processor units... So the new mean will divide further the processes, even if they weren't a lot of multitasking coded in the programs. | | Comments | Write a comment | |
