"Revolutionary Method Doubles Computer Speed Without Hardware Upgrades"

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have developed a new technology called simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (SHMT) that can potentially double the performance of existing PCs by enabling a single task to be carried out across multiple processors simultaneously, reducing workload per processor and energy usage. However, challenges remain in ensuring compatibility with different processor architectures before the technology can be brought to market.
