No of threads

[Vino via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hi All,

  Request your help in clarifying the below. As per the document
foreach (d; taskPool.parallel(xxx)) : The total number of threads 
that will be created is total CPU -1 ( 2 processor with 6 core : 
11 threads)

foreach (d; taskPool.parallel(xxx,1)) : The total number of 
threads that will be created is total CPU -1 ( 2 processor with 6 
core : 12 threads)

So if I increase the parallel process by any number what would be 
the no of threads that would be created

foreach (d; taskPool.parallel(xxx,20)) : As in Windows 2008 
whatever value is set for the parallel the total number of 
threads does not increase more than 12.

So not sure if this is correct, so can any one explain me on same.


From,
Vino.B
