| Programmers are currently making efforts to improve the multithreading capabilities of diverse programmes. |
| Also, developers need to write their apps for multithreading for users to gain full benefits from the technology. |
| But unlike its predecessor, the Power5 processor includes simultaneous multithreading technology, making it possible to run a total of four software threads per chip. |
| This is mainly used for multithreading and interrupt processing purposes etc. |
| However, it can be expected that multithreading will play an increased role in future CAD software. |
| On a single processor, multithreading generally occurs by multitasking: the processor switches between different threads. |
