Default Is RAM Dedicated by Core in Mutli-Core Processor Systems?


Memory is assigned to programs. A program can use the amount of memory assigned to it whether is runs on one core or more that one core.

For example, suppose your program utilizes only one core of a two or
four-core processor. Will that core have the use of all available RAM or
are large chunks reserved for the other idle cores?
