Comment (by hinder):
The documentation Roland is referring to is at http://simfactory.org/info/documentation/userguide/processterminology.html. I don't remember coming across a situation where it was found to be inconsistent with the simfactory code. On the other hand, the machine database entries in submit script and run scripts often don't use these variables and terms correctly. I agree that the terminology is confusing. I have opened #1151.
In your case, since you have 8 threads, you need --procs 16 to run with 2 processes.
Note that this is nothing to do with testsuites; you should get the same behaviour if you run a normal job. If this is not the case, then it is indeed a bug.
