How do I spawn threads on different CPU cores?

Question

Let\'s say I had a program in C# that did something computationally expensive, like encoding a list of WAV files into MP3s. Ordinarily I would encode the files one at a time

Answer 1

Where each thread goes is generally handled by the OS itself...so generate 4 threads on a 4 core system and the OS will decide which cores to run each on, which will usually be 1 thread on each core.
