Reading this post got me to thinking - has anyone tried writing their own multi-threaded programs to to test the performance of these new quad-core hyper threading systems? Are there benchmark programs designed specifically with this sort of analysis in mind? Even if there is, I think it would be a blast to write. Say, fire off eight threads, and in each thread iterate through a loop that first does a complex computation and then outputs a timestamp. Then you could analyze the timestamps of all eight threads. Does this sound interesting or feasible to some people. I'm not even sure that just by firing off 8 different threads you could assume that each thread would get priority to a separate core.
