How can you resolve a processor bottleneck?

What will be an ideal response?


To resolve a processor bottleneck:
* Change to a faster processor-Processor performance is traditionally measured by clock speed. When comparing processors with the same architecture, a processor with a higher clock speed can perform more work in a given time frame.
* Add additional processors-Some computers are capable of containing multiple physical processors. Windows 7 supports up to two physical processors. Having multiple processors means that tasks can be completed more quickly, because the server can work on two tasks at the same time. Be aware that two processors are not twice as fast as a single processor, because some inefficiency is introduced when the system coordinates the activity of two processors.
* Change to a multicore processor-Many processors are now multicore, which effectively means there are multiple processors on a single chip. A dual-core processor increases processing capacity and reduces memory consumption versus simply adding a faster processor.
