Hardware: Processors and CPUs

The table below is ordered such that the performance will likely increase from top to bottom.

Processor Configuration Notes
CPU Single Standard Processor.
HT CPU Hyper Threading Two threads of execution achiving a degree of parallelism.
DC CPU Dual Core Two processors in one for true parallel execution.
HT DC CPU Dual Core Hyper Threading Two processors in one for true parallel execution, but with each Hyper Threading for added parallelism in each core.
2/N x CPU Dual/Multi Two processors with seperate resources.
2/N x HT CPU Dual/Multi Hyper Threading Two processors with seperate resources. Each processor Hyperthreading.
2/N x DC CPU Dual/Multi Dual Core Two processors with seperate resources. Each processor with Dual Core for four parallel exeutions. Not available yet ? (20050720)
2/N x HT DC CPU Dual/Multi Dual Core Hyper Threading Two processors with seperate resources. Each processor with Dual Core for four parallel exeutions. Each of the DC's supporting HT. Not available yet ? (20050720)
