If you divide up the work in your application by using fork() or POSIX threads or some other threading framework, your processing will be divided up among the available processor hardware.

If you don't, it won't.

Hope this helps.

Ever used pthread (POSIX thread) before? Compiling C code with pthread in it is a bit different than when you compile ordinary C code without it .

Hope this helps
