  2. Processor affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_affinity

    Processor affinity can effectively reduce cache problems, but it does not reduce the persistent load-balancing problem. [2] Also note that processor affinity becomes more complicated in systems with non-uniform architectures. For example, a system with two dual-core hyper-threaded CPUs presents a challenge to a scheduling algorithm.

  3. Hyper-threading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading

    The processors based on the Core microarchitecture did not have hyper-threading because the Core microarchitecture was a descendant of the older P6 microarchitecture. The P6 microarchitecture was used in earlier iterations of Pentium processors, namely, the Pentium Pro , Pentium II and Pentium III (plus their Celeron & Xeon derivatives at the ...
