Amber users and developers,

 

I have just installed Amber11 on my new MacBook Pro (I finally switched
from the Windows environment and am completely new to Mac). This
machine has 1 processor (Intel i7) with 4 cores and, through the
implementation of hyperthreading, can run 8 threads. My question is
regarding the option -np (number of processors?) for parallel runs:
what is the actual/optimal number that should be used for this value? I
would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions.

 

Thanks!

Bob Hopkins
