[Haskell-cafe] How does -N allot cores?

[Hong Yang]

Hi Cafe,

On an 1P system, there are 8 cores. Does -N8 send one thread to each core
no matter how loaded each core is? Assuming 6 cores are busy, will -N8 send
threads only to the two idle cores? If -N8 sends threads to eight cores no
matter what, is there any function that detects number of idle (or usage
less than certain percentage) cores?

Suppose a 4P system has 32 cores (4 processors with each processor having 8
cores). Assuming the whole system is idle, how will -N32 work?

Thanks,

Hong
