Multitasking Technology


Computer Technology

I am sure most of us are aware of the HT technology, Core Duo 2 and other computer hardware that support multitasking. Let me bring out the bare truth behind the concept of multi-tasking or multi-user processing. The underlaid truth behind these concept designs is hollow. Multi-tasking is always virtually possible, it can never be truly multiprocessing. The reason behind this is program execution is managed by the program scheduler which is in form of a queue(stacks) fundamentals. Digging up more on that would tell you more about the process states and updates during program execution life cycle. Dual processors are just like boosters for the processing, that means at max it is only possible to make the processing ultra-fast, so much fast that it is looks it is almost simultaneous. But mind this article, multi-tasking in not possible in real time, unless computer scientist come up with a new way of process management.

I think there must be something sophisticated behind the move of multiple processors. Otherwise why do those developers keep doubling processor for PC, while the world seems to be accepting, without much complaints... That's my opinion.
