    copied!<p>First of all, I did not study computer science, and I teached programming my self, said that;</p> <p>I have a C# program that runs heavy power flow simulations for very large demand profiles. I use a laptop with an intel i7 processor (4 cores -> 8 threads) under windows 7. When I run the simulations the processor ussage is arround 32%.</p> <p>I have read other threads about process prority, and I have more or less clear that when something runs on the OS, it runs at full speed, but the OS keeps the interfaces responsive (is this correct?)</p> <p>Well I want to "completely flood the processor" with the simulation; get a 100% of usage (if possible) ?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Ref#1: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5354420/is-there-a-way-of-restricting-an-apis-processor-resource-in-c">Is there a way of restricting an API&#39;s processor resource in c#?</a></p> <p>Ref#2: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2232801/multiple-processors-and-performancecounter-c-sharp">Multiple Processors and PerformanceCounter C#</a></p> <p>EDIT: piece of code that calls the simulations after removing the non relevant stuff</p> <pre><code>while ( current_step &lt; sim_times.Count ) { bool repeat_all = false; power_flow( sim_times[current_step] ); current_step++; } </code></pre> <p>I know it is super simple, and it is a while becausein the original code I may want to repeat a certain number of steps.</p> <p>The <code>power_flow()</code> function calls a third party software, so I guess is this third party software the one that should do the multy threading, isn't it?</p>
