Elmer,

I haven't seen any place that describes how this (SMT) actually happens. The processor needs to swap the status of the CPU someplace and load it for another thread in order to do something on this other thread. Another thing that's not clear is whether existing code will be able to take advantage of this feature, or whether an OS can manage multiple simultaneous threads (that can consist of existing code) or if the code has to be completely recompiled.
