Hyper-threading is Intel's proprietary simultaneous multithreading (SMT) implementation used to improve parallelization of computations (doing multiple tasks at once) performed on PC microprocessors. For each processor core that is physically present, the operating system (OS) addresses two virtual or logical cores, and shares the workload between them when possible. They appear to the OS as two processors, thus the OS can schedule two processes at once. In addition, two or more processes can use the same resources.
