Subject: A "mystery" with dual core

Author: Gregory Owett

Recently, I launched two tournaments (ponder off) with the same participants, on
two different machines.  Here results:

On P4 2.2 T=15'+5" :

1. Fruit 2.2.1 KS104     7,5 / 10
2. Shredder 9 UCI        5,5
3. Shredder 7.04 CLm1    5            25,00
4. Fruit 2.2.1 Uri       5            23,00
5. Shredder 8 CLD        3,5          17,25
6. Fruit 2.2.1           3,5          16,50


On AMD x2 dual core 4800+   T=15'+5" :

1. Shredder 8 CLD        6,5 / 10
2. Fruit 2.2.1 Uri       6
3. Fruit 2.2.1 KS104     5            25,75
4. Fruit 2.2.1           5            24,25
5. Shredder 9 UCI        4,5
6. Shredder 7.04 CLm1    3


The success of Shredder 8 CLD (UCI) on the dual core machine, confirms what the
task manager indicated, i.e. which Shredder 8 CLD, in spite of it is
single-threaded engine, used 99% of the two processors, while all the others
used 50%, in other words, only one processor.

(Native engines, as F8, J9, H9, CT15 etc...use 99% too.)

Peter Kasinski thinks that Windows task manager is confused and carryforwards
incorrectly.

Is there another explanation?
