That's the design, yes. Typically if you're trying to gather statistics on a four-thread workload you don't want those polluted by phases where only three (or fewer) threads are running. If you really want to let all 4 threads finish you can change this behavior by playing with the emulated exit() syscall (see exitFunc()) and the corresponding SimLoopExitEvent() (maybe use a CountedExitEvent() instead). > > 2. > If I make a single LiveProcess() with radix for instance, and assign it as > workload to all four processors, does the four processors actually run > different thread of the same process.

If you're seeing this, then that means that radix isn't actually using all 4 cpus like you think it is; maybe it didn't parse the command-line args correctly, or it encountered a different error before it got to the thread-forking step.
