4.5 Hyper Threading
Hyper Threading (officially termed Hyper Threading Technology or HTT) is an Intel®-proprietary technology used to
improve parallelization of computations performed on PC´s. Hyper-Threading works by duplicating certain sections of
the processor—those that store the architectural state but not duplicating the main execution resources. This allows
a Hyper-Threading equipped processor to pretend to be two „logical" processors to the host operating system,
allowing the operating system to schedule two threads or processes simultaneously. Hyper Threading Technology
support always relies on the Operating System.
Hyper Threading is only supported on the Z530 (1.6 GHz) version of the nanoETXexpress-
SP. Operating system images from the 1.1GHz (Z510) and 1.6Ghz (Z530) module may not be
fully compatible. It's recommended to use separate images on hyperthreading and non-
hyperthreading variant.
