Re: Low-overhead multi-threading? (Was: Re: Increase WinXP/jre CPU usage?)

(For readers just joining us: I am a Java newbie.)

With respect and thanks, optimization is the not the issue. The code is a
port of long-standing C code that is highly optimized -- I'm very familiar
with optimization techniques; actually, that is my specialty. I'd like to
try multi-threading it.

The loops enumerate cases. For each case, there are "n" significant
computations, each accomplished in AStaticMethod (excuse the initial
upper-case :). Multi-threading the executions of that method would be a
very easy way to begin. Partitioning the enumeration of cases on the other
hand, would be difficult -- at this writing, I don't have a scheme to do
that.

So far my knowledge of Java multi-threading is based on rapid pass through
the relevant material in Flanagan's "Java in a Nutshell" and Sun's "The Java
Tutorials."

If possible, I would like a way to do the multi-threading that creates no
objects for each execution of AStaticMethod. Currently the code, after
startup, creates no objects and incurs no GC.
