For developers, threading is an important issue that impacts game performance. Here's how task scheduling works in Apple Silicon games. Demands on GPU and CPUs are some of the most compute-intensive ...

The relationship between processor and operating system is crucial. If an OS can’t properly manage the tasks set before it, it doesn’t matter how fast the CPU runs. At a private press and analyst ...

I have a Win 10 Pro 1809 machine 56 logical cores. Typically I run 48 compute threads so the machine has some reserve to stay fully responsive. These threads are substantially similar and under the ...

This month, I continue my four-part introduction to Java threads by focusing on thread scheduling, the wait/notify mechanism, and thread interruption. You’ll investigate how either a JVM or an ...

The kernel dispatcher and associated subsystems provide for the prioritization and scheduling of kernel threads in one of several bundled scheduling classes. The details of the implementation are ...

There've been reports buzzing around that AMD's Ryzen CPU performs much better by some metrics in Windows 7 compared with Windows 10. AMD has investigated those claims itself and released its own ...

Sporadic events are the bugaboo of many real-time systems. Finding a way to manage aperiodic behavior can spell the difference between system failure and system success. This article presents the ...

Some sources claim that AMD’s Ryzen CPUs could perform better in Windows 10 except for the way the operating system incorrectly handles Ryzen’s simultaneous multi-threading (SMT). We’re told that ...
