Hi,

While doing the ProgrammingWithOpenMP PPT slides from the Intel Parallel Studio Workshop courseware we notice that while executing the OpenMP code on Windos 7. 64 bit with Pentium i7 processor we could not get more than 4 CPUs active. We always had 4 CPUs parked and it did not matter how many threads we set or how large the code was made to run, it never got the parked CPUs to come out and work.

Any idea how this protocol works on Windows 7 and how we can guarantee we can use all available Cores?

Thanks
