explain concepts of CPU, processor, socket, thread, core
Hi there,
I was reading GNU parallel tutorial, and I am confused about some basic concepts.
So what's the difference between CPU, processor, socket, thread and core?
on a local desktop, how many CPUs usually one has?
How about on a remote computing cluster?
Thank you,
