Parallel Computing

The server I'm using has Intel's Xeon dual processors.
Can I assign different tasks to different processors?
Does PHP deal with parallel computing?

I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about that, it is handled by something farther down the line, like apache or the OS itself

I agree... it would make little sense to load each proccessor individually.... That just leads to more possiblity to have a poor load average on one proccessor. Your OS can deal with this.... you've still got the same overall proccessing power.

Yep... That sort of thing is outside the scope of PHP development.
The language out-of-the-box doesn't deal with that sort of thing at all, though
PHP-GTK might venture into that sort of territory.
