load on HT cpu question

[twiztdskatr]

do you have to use two programs to load your cpu on say an 800fsb cpu with ht? or is one fine?

[saaya]

most apps are single thread optimized, the programm is waits for one thread to finish before it starts a new thread.

i think the most performence increasement can be seen when running multiple single thread optimized apps or of course multi thread optimized apps.

so basically, yes.

i use 2 so that both alu's get maxed otherwise itll sorta use 50% of both and only vary slightly between them.

i have no idea what saaya is going on about.

for sandra,

burn in on heavy puts cpu usage at 100%

it also uses about 265 megs of ram

my system chugs like a stoner running the mile

[Bleam!]

for HT cpu's you should use Toast.exe two times, it uses both threads ...

[CCW]

Is this for burn-in?

Folding can make use of hyperthreading.
