Utilizing Both RoboRIO Cores

Under labview, you have the option using (among other things, timed loops) to allocate processes to specific cores. Standard Labview programming is to use while loops which would be allocated automatically to balance.

Actually, the operating system will not balance any program on two cores if you are not using multiple threads, which you should hard code.

Although that if you're talking about Java/C++ WPILib specifically, I think that every command is ran in a different thread, and you also have the "task" class in WPILib which offers a more convenient interface to operate threads.
