Another words, does it make use of two processors at the same

Thanks,

Linux supports 10s of thousands of processors, the top 500 supercomputers
mostly run Linux. The standard SMP kernel has a parameter for the number
of cores it supports that goes from 2-256, Fedora sets this parameter to
64 for their SMP kernels which is good enough for desktops and
workstations, which generally need 2-4 (depending on the number of cores
and if those cores support hyperthreading), as well as most medium sized
server systems.
