#828: num-threads set in the machine files is never used as default value -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: alibeck | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: ET_2011_05 Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
The ini files contain not only information that is directly used, but also provide a generic description of the systems. In this case, num-threads is "a good number of threads to use" on the particular system. For example, a tool may want to query or display this information, e.g. to run benchmarks on a system.
Also, the current version of Simfactory does use OpenMP by default, and does use this MDB entry by default.
