I would like to know how many processors are on the system, because i
would like to use them paralell for a single task.
The job could be done using 2, 4, etc threads simultaniously, to speed
it up with usage of all processors at the same time.
To split up the task I have to know how many cpus are available for
usage.
Is there a way to figure this out ?
greetings
