I have a java app, and, I want it to take advantage of multicore processors, how do I take advantage of them? Does just spawning a new thread do the trick? Like does the OS decide what core to put the thread on?

Yes, the OS has complete control on what core to put your threads on (at least in Java). You shouldn’t worry about such things. 🙂 Just spawn your threads and let the OS do the work.
