I was wondering whether running two scripts on a dual-core CPU (in parallel at the same time) decreases the speed of the codes as compared to running them serially (running at different times or on two different CPUs). What factors should be considered into account while trying to answer this question?
How Dual Cores Works When Running Scripts
running two separate scripts
if you run one script then another script on a dual core CPU, then
weather or not your scripts will run on each of the cores is dependent on
your Operating System.
running two separate threads
on a dual core CPU then your threads will actually be faster than on a single core.
Does running two scripts in parallel on a dual-core CPU decrease the speed as compared to running them serially?
