Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT) enables multi-threaded server applications to execute threads in parallel within each processor. HTT is a form of simultaneous multi-threading that allows multiple software threads to run simultaneously on one processor by duplicating the processor's architectural state while sharing execution resources. It provides thread-level parallelism to improve processor efficiency and performance on multi-threaded software. For HTT to work requires a compatible Intel processor, chipset, BIOS, and operating system along with multi-threaded software. HTT delivers increased system performance and responsiveness.
