One question...do you have your memory split? I looked at the HT architecture, and it's highly dependent on each "processor" being able to concurrently access separate memory (in different slots). Unless I missed something. Also, how do we know it's a sham? Maybe it just assigned the tasks to the same virtual processor. Not doubting you, but just playing devil's advocate. Keep me in the loop on this...I am very interested.
I think I have an answer for you and Lee is right.
I wrote a simple looping program that would show the elapsed time for nnnn passes through the loop. Run by itself, a valid time would be 1.55 secs for one pass. Start up another copy of the same program, and the time for each became 2.9. Close enough to twice the time that it's obvious the HT is a sham. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
