Sure, if you are devoting the whole computer to a single microbenchmark, threads a terrible idea. This is not necessarily the case when you have many heterogeneous applications running on a machine, though.
- rezonant 7y agoI'm a little confused by this- if you have multiple independent apps on a machine, would they not already be in separate OS processes?
- Jweb_Guru 7y agoSure, but they still use the same kernel scheduling that threads do, and careful optimizations relying on core count = thread count are going to be basically worthless as well.
