Intel的Hyper-Threading技术为其处理器体系带来了并发多线程的新概念。Hyper-Threading技术使得单个物理处理器可以以两个逻辑处理器的方式工作:物理系统资源被共享,并且处理器的体系结构被复制成两个逻辑处理器。从软件设计或硬件结构的角度来看,这项技术的意义在于操作系统和用户程序可以对逻辑处理器分配他们的进程或线程,就像有多个物理处理器在并行处理。 Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology brings a new concept of concurrent multithreading to its processor architecture. Hyper-Threading technology allows a single physical processor to work in two logical processors: the physical system resources are shared, and the processor’s architecture is replicated into two logical processors. From a software design or hardware architecture perspective, the significance of this technology is that operating systems and user programs can allocate their processes or threads to logical processors as if multiple physical processors were processed in parallel.
