Presentation Transcript

  1. Presentation 31 – Multicore, Multiprocessing, Multithreading, and Multitasking.

  2. Objectives At the end of this presentation, you will be able to:

  3. Explain the difference between multitasking and multiprocessing. • Explain the difference between multithreading and multiprocessing. • List several disadvantages of achieving multiprocessing by using multiple MPU packages. • Explain the difference between cooperative and preemptive multitasking. • Explain the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical multiprocessing. • Discuss the internal structure of the Pentium D, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad microprocessors.

  4. “Multi” — More than what? • Multitasking • Multithreaded • Multiprocessing • Multicore

  5. Multitasking • The apparent simultaneous execution of two or more programs by a single processor. • What appears to be simultaneous execution is actually concurrent execution. • Dates back to the earlier days of Windows.

  6. Think of Multitasking this way. Program 1 Processor Program 2

  7. Two types of Multitasking • Cooperative • Preemptive

  8. Cooperative Multitasking Program 1 Processor The Applications control the switching. Program 2

  9. Preemptive Multitasking Program 1 Processor Program 2 The operating system control the switching.

  10. Multitasking Program 1 Processor Program 2

  11. Multithreaded • A single Program or Application can be written so that it can be executed as two or more “threads” of instructions. • A “thread” can be thought of as a stand alone task. • For example, in a video processing application the video information could be processed as one thread; the audio as another.

  12. Think of Multithreading this way. Thread 1 Processor Application Thread 2

  13. Multithreading a Video Processing Application Application Thread 1 (Video) Processor Video Video Audio Thread 2 Audio

  14. Threads • Threads occur within a single application. • The application must be written for Multithreading. • Not all applications lend themselves to this form of parallelization. • The processor must support multithreading. • Not all processors do.

  15. Pentium 4 was optimized for multithreading. Logical Core 1 Thread 1 Thread 1 Thread 2 Thread 1 Logical Core 2 Thread 2 Pentium 4

  16. Pentium D Pentium 4 Pentium 4

  17. Multiprocessing • A single computer runs two (or more) separate programs at the same time. • Servers and workstations achieved this by using multiple processors in separate packages. • PCs achieve this by using multiple cores in a single package.

  18. Types of Multiprocessing (MP) • Symmetrical MP—The operating system assigns tasks as it sees fit. • Asymmetrical MP—The program designer chooses the processor at the time the program is written.

  19. Dual Package versus dual core. Dual Packages Dual Core CPU IC 2 Sockets 2 Heat sinks 2 Fans 2 Fan cable 2 Board Space X2 CPU IC 1 Sockets 1 Heat sinks 1 Fans 1 Fan cable 1 Board space X1

  20. Enter the Core 2 Duo • Because the Pentium D was made up of two Pentium 4 cores, it was not optimized for dual processing. • Intel redesigned the architecture of the CPU, optimizing it for multiprocessing. • The result is called “Core” architecture. Apparently, this is a new trade name that replaces “Pentium”. • One of the early processors to use this new architecture is the Core 2 Duo.

  21. Core 2 Design

  22. The Core 2 Extreme • Fastest of the Core 2 Duo series • Allows “over-clocking”, a technique that allows users to run the CPU at a higher clock speed than the manufacture recommends.

  23. The Core 2 Quad Second Core 2 Die First Core 2 Die

  24. The Core 2 Quad Single Core 2 Quad Die

  25. End
