How many CPUs run your desktop computer?
I am in the process of writing a system which analyzes ("reads") texts at
scale. The system is called the Distant Reader. In order to use the the system
on a desktop computer, it is all but necessary to have a computer with more
than two CPUs. I'm curious to know a bit about your computer so I can learn
about the feasibility of sharing the system's software to wider audiences
Please consider taking a survey at https://forms.gle/hJVdyeygE9q86Vz39 The
survey only has three questions:
1. What operating system runs your computer?
2. How often do you use the command line?
3. How many CPUs run your computer?
Zero identifying information about you is gathered. I will not use the
responses for nefarious purposes. I promise. It is just a gauge to see whether
or not I ought to modify my software to run on desktop computers.
P.S. I suspect most people do not know how many CPUs run their computer, and if
they do, then the answer is two or less.
