587121 2007-09-02 12:03:00 Just trying to find when a program is designed for a dual core chip should it use 100% of the first core before using the second or use equal amounts of both.'
Just been using Visualhub and it had both cores up around the 70%mark,would this be the norm

587122 2007-09-02 12:06:00 AFAIK - if the application is coded for multiple cores then which core processes which instructions is up to the chip. Deane F (8204)
587123 2007-09-03 21:28:00 If the program can use the multiple processors/cores, then it will generally spread the load over the 2 rather than max one out & start on the 2nd.

I'm sure there are exceptions to this though.
