That already happens under any sane, modern OS - even Windows.  It's
the OS's responsibility to ensure basic core load distribution, not the
application's.  It's a bit different for threaded applications which
are explicitly coded for SMP, but even single-threaded applications are
distributed amongst the cores.

They don't.  Or shouldn't, if your OS is not mis-tuned.  It's possible to
set the core affinity for an executable in Windows, but that's not its
natural state.  Naturally tuned, it performs exactly as you said you want
it to.
