Dear Moses devs/users,

Is there a way to control how many threads and how many cores Moses use?

`moses/scripts/training/train-model.perl` has a --cores option while
`moses/scripts//training/mert-moses.pl` has a --threads option.

Does the mert-moses.pl --thread option refer to the no. of threads that
MERT will take? Is there a way to control how many cores the no. of threads
will be running on?

And in train-model.perl the Mgiza option allows --mgiza-cpus option, does
that refer to the no. of threads assigned or the cores mgiza will take?

In some experiments the optimal no. of threads assigned to an algorithm
might depend on the algorithm's complexity. Is there any experimental
evidence for the optimal no. of threads to assign when running MERT? Or
when running MGIZA?

Pardon my lack of knowledge in cores and threads. Thank you in advance for
the tips on constraining Moses on the server.

Best Regards,
Liling
