What is Dual Core Technology?

Let's start with an example. Imagine that you have the job to make a sales budget. For that you have to look into all the aspects of the previous year budgets, the objectives, and look into the research reports of the company analyze all the things and then prepare the budget accordingly. You cannot just skip the laying of the objectives and overlook the research reports to plan the budget. Now consider that you get the assistance of any other person in the process who briefs you of all the objectives till you look into the reports and previous year data. Or who briefs you of the data till you analyze the present situation.

What are you doing at this point? You are just skipping one step so that you can manage with the other. This results in the faster execution of the process. And the task is completed with accuracy in speedier manner. This is the concept behind the dual core technology.
In this technology you use two processors so as to make your data execution fast and efficient. You use two processors in a single computer, both of which work in parallel, share the steps in processing and thus executes the data faster.

This technology has advantage over the other technologies available. Firstly these chips occupy less space on the motherboard and save on your electricity bill by consuming less power than the other technologies. Secondly as the technology provides with two cores each having its own catchae, the multitasking ability of the computer is enhanced.

To make an effective and optimum use of dual core processor, your computer requires Thread Level Parallelism, common known by its acronym TLP. Here thread means the part of the program that can be executed independently of its other part. There are operating systems that support multithreading. You are using this feature every time you download the songs, edit the existing sons and videos on the playlist till the download is complete. Even with such types of applications you still get the advantages of dual core processor if your operating system supports the thread level parallelism.

To rule out the security threats there are available dual core antivirus. They results in smoother multitasking by your computer, besides giving protection against the spywares and the viruses that may crash your computer. These UserGates are available and when installed act as proxy server to your computer. These have wide application in the firms where the corporate network can be created and the employees cannot access certain files or download certain data. Thus the employee working and use of computer internet can be checked and monitored.
