Microsoft Windows 8

In the future of computer Operating System technology not only increasing the processor speed, but also the number of ‘brains’ in each of the core inside the processors. Therefore, Windows 8 is designed to manage hundreds of processors at once.

Processor with dual core is very easy to get, even with Intel’s HyperThreading technology that is possible to ‘double’ the number of cores on each processor.

Microsoft as Windows owners as one of the biggest OS company in the world has already anticipate it. In Windows 7 for example, the operating system can be used on a system that has 160 physical cores on each processor.

But unfortunately very difficult to monitor the activity of each core processors are now using Windows 7. Therefore, the status bar is too small making it hard to see loads ditompang each core.

Each core will be represented by a small of Public complete with a description of the load that is being done. As for more detailed view, users simply shifting the cursor to the desired box.

Besides saving space, these designs are also claimed to be easier to monitor the system’s user both the server, or a home computer. It’s just not yet known when home users can enjoy processors with hundreds of cores like that.
