[CentOS] Is parralel processing automatically done on multi-core CPU's?

Hi,

I just noticed this article,
http://www.howtoforge.net/fully-utilizing-your-x-core-cpu which uses
http://code.google.com/p/ppss/ for parralel processing.

So, can anyone tell me if parralel processing happens automatically on
CentOS, or would I need to use this script as well? We mainly have Dual Core
& Dual CPU, Dual Core (i.e. 8 cores) servers and it would be benefitial to
know whether any applications on the server could automatically use all 8
cores, or whether I need todo something on the servers to get this working?
