The advent of economical consumer grade multi-core processors raises the question for many users: how do you effectively calculate the real speed of a multi-core system? Is a 4-core 3Ghz system really 12Ghz? Read on as we investigate.

SuperUser reader NReilingh was curious how to the processor speed for a multi-core system is actually calculated:

> At the time I knew this to be hogwash for reasons I think are apparent to most people, but I just saw a comment on this website to the effect of “6 cores x 0.2GHz = 1.2Ghz” and that got me thinking again about whether there’s a real answer to this.

So what is the appropriate way to denote the total clock speed and, more importantly, is it even possible to use single-core speed nomenclature on a multi-core system?

那么，表示总时钟速度的合适方法是什么？更重要的是，甚至有可能在多核系统上使用单核速度术语吗？

> The main reason why a quad-core 3GHz processor is never as fast as a 12GHz single core is to do with how the task running on that processor works, i.e. single-threaded or multi-threaded. [Amdahl’s Law][Amdahl_s Law] is important when considering the types of tasks you are running.

> Then the task depends highly on the result of the previous pass and cannot run multiple copies of itself without corrupting the value of `'a'` as each copy would be getting the value of `'a'` at different times and writing it back differently. This restricts the task to a single thread and thus the task can only ever be running on a single core at any given time, if it were to run on multiple cores then the synchronisation corruption would happen. This limits it to 1/2 of the cpu power of a dual core system, or 1/4 in a quad core system.
> 
> 然后，该任务在很大程度上取决于前一遍的结果，并且无法运行其自身的多个副本而不会破坏`'a'`的值，因为每个副本将在不同的时间获取`'a'`的值并以不同的方式写回。 这将任务限制为单个线程，因此该任务只能在任何给定时间在单个内核上运行，如果要在多个内核上运行，则将发生同步损坏。 这将其限制为双核系统的cpu功率的1/2，或四核系统的1/4。

> All of these lines are independent and could be split into 4 separate programs like the first and run at the same time, each one able to make effective use of the full power of one of the cores without any synchronisation problem, this is where [Amdahl’s Law][Amdahl_s Law] comes into it.

> So if you have a single threaded application doing brute force calculations the single 12GHz processor would win hands down, if you can somehow make the task split into separate parts and multi-threaded then the 4 cores could come close to, but not quite reach, the same performance, as per Amdahl’s Law.

> The main thing that a multi CPU system gives you is responsiveness. On a single core machine that is working hard the system can seem sluggish as most of the time could be being used by one task and the other tasks only run in short bursts in between the larger task, resulting in a system that seems sluggish or juddery. On a multi-core system the heavy task gets one core and all the other tasks play on the other cores, doing their jobs quickly and efficiently.

> 多CPU系统为您提供的主要功能是响应能力。 在努力工作的单核计算机上，系统似乎很呆滞，因为大部分时间可能被一个任务占用，而其他任务仅在较大的任务之间短暂运行，从而导致系统显得呆滞或摇摇欲坠。 在多核系统上，繁重的任务获得一个核心，而其他所有任务则在另一个核心上发挥作用，从而快速高效地完成工作。

> The argument of “6 cores x 0.2GHz = 1.2Ghz” is rubbish in every situation except where tasks are perfectly parallel and independant. There are a good number of tasks that are highly parallel, but they still require some form of synchronsation. [Handbrake][] is a video trancoder that is very good at using all the CPUs available but it does require a core process to keep the other threads filled with data and collect the data that they are done with.
> 
> “ 6核x 0.2GHz = 1.2Ghz”的论点在每种情况下都是垃圾，除非任务是完全并行和独立的。 有很多任务是高度并行的，但是它们仍然需要某种形式的同步。 [Handbrake][]是一种视频转码器，非常善于使用所有可用的CPU，但是它确实需要一个核心进程来保持其他线程充满数据并收集处理完的数据。
