If you only have ULT as a tool, you're limited to a single processor. If KLT are available, you can spread the kernel threads over multiple processors and dispatch your ULT among the available kernel threads. | |

But, the given link says, ULT can run simultaneusly stackoverflow.com/questions/14791801/…. Am I getting anything wrong ? | |
