If you have a CPU-intensive problem like data mining, do you need to break up the work for multiple cores/CPU’s and create a multi-threaded application?
Or does EC2 break up the work among the multiple cores or CPU’s for you?

If you have one process doing work, and that process is single-threaded, it will only occupy one virtual core.
Yes, you need to multi-thread (or divide the work between multiple running processes).
