Hyper-threading Technology is useful, when it comes to computing, it is a technology that improves the running of multiple tasks at once by making the operating system to address two virtual or logical cores when only one processor is present.
It also allows the operating system to share the work load betwen the virtual cores. Hyper-threading is a technology that makes one processor appear to the Operating system as two processors, this allows the operating system to schedule two processors at once.
The term Hyper-threading was Intel's term for simultaneous multi-threading, which works by duplicating a certain section of the processor which is the section that store the architectural state of the processor. Hyper-threading requires that the Operating System support multiple processors, not only that ,but the Operating System should be optimized for Hyper-threading technology. Hyper-threading technology has gone a long way to improve the speed of computing, it is used in most computers nowadays and there is assurance of more us and definite improvement in the future
