Comment (by bmundim):

 also procs is described in
 http://simfactory.org/info/documentation/userguide/processterminology.html
 as the number of threads, which is even more confusing. We end up with the
 following possible mappings:

 --procs --> total number of threads
 --procs --> number of threads per MPI task (probably not since –num-
 threads is described as such)
 --procs --> number of processes, meaning MPI tasks
 --procs --> number of processors, meaning CPUs
 --procs --> number of cores, for those thinking of a core as a
 computational unit (less probable though)
