wbmw, I just read the whole article. The guys seems to know nothing about multi-threading. He was suggesting that the sandra guys may have control over the scheduling of threads to a specific physical or logical CPU. Basically, when you create a thread you ask the OS to give you one and the OS decides how to optimally assign that thread to a given CPU. Now, I don't know if Intel has provided MSFT with any additional APIS to add to the Windows kernel to provide finer control but who would want to code like that? The scheduling of threads should be left to the OS.
