Running multiple processes to understand multicore CPUs power

Many people say multicore CPUs are useless. Watching this video you will find out that there is a lot of power in multicore CPUs. Developers must tackle the multicore revolution to exploit multicore CPUs in new applications. A new book from Packt on Threaded Programming that acts as a guide to building scalable, high performance applications using parallel programming with C# has been published. Written by Gastón C. Hillar, C# 2008 and 2005 Threaded Programming: Beginner's Guide will help users develop applications that run several tasks, and manage parallelized processes and threads.

@TeamAlecAmerica

It didn't make since to you. It probably did for me back then and it does again now.

@EliteGhost001 ...your original post didn't make any sense so I was helping you out, it wasn't a serious question.

@TeamAlecAmerica

you just replied to a 1 year old comment, I don't remember it.

and no, a multiple cpu's are not useless. Unless the OS can't make use of multiple cores and thus can't command programs to use multiple cores.

[TeamAlecAmerica]

@EliteGhost001 then it's not useless?

[EliteGhost001]

if the OS doesn't use multiple cores, it is useless. But since newer OSs do use more cores...
