Maybe this is a misunderstanding. You asked if the program will run using
multiple threads, and it will.

You didn't ask about what performance improvement will be the result. HT will
bring an additional 0%-30% depending on engine and position, which is much lower
than what you would get from a multi-processor computer. As the computer still
only has one physical processor, that's also logical.

I recently bought a PIV3.2 with HT ability, but have only tried it with Crafty
so far, when it is about "Deep" programs. For Crafty 19.10 +20% looks like a
reasonable speedup number on average.
