Multithreading capability
 

How do you check whether your linux machine has multithreading capability?
thanks,

What exactly do you mean? Do you actually know what muti-threading is?

would like to know if my processor is multithreaded enabled.

It does/It is.

Are you asking about taking advantage of dual cores or procressors?

Do you mean software or hardware multithreading? Linux software always has multithreading capability. You might be able to find out whether your CPU has hardware multithreading with this command:

uname -p

But I am not sure of that.

wanna test my application in the linux machine that is multithreaded enabled..but don know how to check that information in my linux machine.

Yes, your Linux is multithreaded enabled.

DO you know what multithreading is? I guess not. Can you answer my question: Are you actually asking about taking advantage of multiple cores or processors, or not?

yes...but does that mean that if i have more than one processor in my machine and i'm using say RHEL3 then i have already have multithreading capibility?

If you have an SMP enabled kernel, then multiple cores/processors are being used. Please note that this is not the same as using multiple threads, which is the sticking point here.

You can check if your kernel is SMP-ready by issuingthe uname -a command and looking for the word "SMP".

You'll have "multithreading capability" with even one processor. Please clarify what you're asking :/.
