What can I do to make my C# application take advantage of multiple processor cores?

I've been doing some tests about the way a .NET C# application uses resources, like CPU or memory. I wrote some loops that calculate values for a large amount of numbers and I'm satisfied with the weight of the algorithm.

I have a Quad Core 2.4 GHz processor, but I've noticed that In Task Manager, my application is only using 25% of my CPU. Why isn't it using 100%? Does that mean that a .NET C# Application compiled in VS 2008 only supports Single Core CPU? Or is there a way that I can force it to use all CPUs?

Solution

  • What about if i use Background-workers ,if i have CPU QuadCore 4CPU's can somebody write an example how could it react @ that CPU ?
