To take advantage of multiple processors, programs have to be redesigned to do multiple things at once. This is referred to as "multi-threaded". Then, each thread can be handed off to a different processor, yielding the increased speed. Although many operating systems have been redesigned to take advantage of multiple processors, application software is only beginning to catch up. Other elements of the processor design, beyond the scope of this discussion, also influence the overall performance of the processor.

The micro-connectors are the ones most commonly in use today. on the first device, the third to the second device, etc. The last device in the chain must be "terminated": a special blank connector is placed in the unused connector. This prevents signals from echoing along the cable. The SCSI-1 standard supported up to 8 devices in a chain (the processor counted as one of those devices) and had maximum communication rates of 5 MB/sec. SCSI-2 supported 8, 16, or 32 devices, depending upon whether "wide" cables were used, with 16 or 32 data lines.
