It appears that on recent Pentium 4, hyper-threading support can be enabled. I believe the software can use it through OpenMP compiler extensions. Are these planned for DMC?

I don't know anything about them.

Oh, i'm sorry, i believe this link is somewhat misleading - it's only the OpenMP which is a programming interface. You also need to find out about its hardware counterpart - supported in latest Pentium 4 CPUs, requiering mainboard and OS support as well - HyperThreading. Rumors say that it's a Good Thing for multithreaded applications, but i really know nothing beyond, nor whether it makes much sense for your compiler. Intel has it, but so far none else. It's hard to compete against intel compiler on speed anyway.
