[julia-users] Starting Julia with Julia -p 2 provides 1 worker

[Iacopo Poli]

Hi,

I'm trying to start Julia with more than one worker, but if I type in the 
terminal for example "julia -p 2", then in the REPL nworkers() returns 1.
I have version *0.5.0-dev+3488 *and a Intel Core i5 (Macbook Pro Mid 2012). 
 

Running system_profiler:

"system_profiler SPHardwareDataType

Hardware:

 Hardware Overview:


      Model Name: MacBook Pro

      Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,2

      ...

      Total Number of Cores: 2

      ...
"

So I should be able to start Julia with two workers... Any guess why this 
isn't working?
