Parallel processing?

[tom64]

Does anyone know of an easy way to get the computer to do something like: 4 completely separate tasks (assuming you have 4 cores), for each core?

i.e.

core_1( *task_1() )
core_2( *task_2() )
core_3( *task_3() )
core_4( *task_4() )

I know with parallel processing there are usually problems like collisions, but what if you give the different cores completely separate tasks with separate memory that won't collide?

Sincerely,
Tom

If each task is completely separated from each other, then just run each one in a its own thread. If you want to make sure that each thread runs on a separate core, you can heack a little with OS functions, but that shouldn't be necessary, the OS is supposed to dispatch threads optimally.

sf::Thread or std::thread.

Keep in mind though that parallel programming is not at all a trivial task, but if things are  completely separated, then there shouldn't be many problems.
