So, if I understand you all correctly, I need do nothing. The kernel will utilize them all as needed.
If that correct?
yes. a single process with a single thread will only use one CPU/core/thread at a time, but if you're running multiple processes at once, even something like a pipeline, then they will run in multiple cores as needed.
the 2 threads on each core are less than a whole CPU but more than 1/2. In particular, there is only one floating point unit.
