More CPU per process

[frank123]

I have 6 cores and each program can use a maximum of 17%. Is there a way to use more?

a program can only use as much of the CPU as it can. The more code that needs to be processed simultaneously, the more of a cpu's power that program will use. You can't make it use more of the cpu.

The programmer needs to design it to do so

Actually... if you underclock your cpu you'll see a rise in the % used... that is the only way to get that number higher. But then again, why would you want to.

Thank you for your responses. What I mean is, it's clear that the program would need more to operate more efficiently but it's limited as it only uses one core. I guess my question is can you use multiple cores per program? Is that what multi-threading is?

In order for a program to use more than one core, it has to be programmed to use more than one core. There is nothing you can do.

Ok, great. Thanks again for your help
