Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, a single process can run multiple threads on different cores. Caching is specific to the hardware. Many modern Intel processors have three layers of caching, where the last level cache is shared across cores.
Detailed explanation-2: -A multi-core processor is a microprocessor on a single integrated circuit with two or more separate processing units, called cores, each of which reads and executes program instructions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Parallel processing is a computing technique when multiple streams of calculations or data processing tasks co-occur through numerous central processing units (CPUs) working concurrently. Parallel processing uses two or more processors or CPUs simultaneously to handle various components of a single activity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Short answer, yes. A single core cpu(a processor), can run 2 or more threads simultaneously. These threads may belong to the one program, or they may belong different programs and thus processes.
