Hi,

Subject: [Bi-users] Number of cores

Hi,
Good morning!
I have a question regarding how many cores can be used for parallel work. In my script I accidentally set the ncores as 35, which is larger than the core number of a node (detectCores() gives 32).
But the script still works without problem. How does it happen, should I set a limit for the number of cores used for parallel work (for example, 31) or it doesn’t matter?
Thank you very much!
