Make a program use more than 50% CPU usage

[overst33r]

I need to make a program use more than 50% of the CPU when it's crunching numbers. I use it a lot, so it would increase productivity.

Is this possible? If so, how

Thanks

Is this a program you have written?

No. It's a CNC programming software.

Oh. Then you can't.

If the program is communicating with whatever device you are trying to program then you're going to be limited by the I/O of that device, which will prevent the program from using full CPU resources.

Let me guess, you have dual core cpu.

If so, then when Windows task manager shows 50%, that means 100% of one core.
