First Thanks for reply.
@Hames : I understand that n_jobs "should be depending on the number of cpu
cores available on your machine". But I am running code on Grid computing
environment where I have to specify the number of CPUs in advance.
Does this mean if I (reserve 64 cores and) specify n_jobs=64 the job will
take (Approximately) half of the time then n_jobs=32 ?
And again just to be sure :
What if I (reserve and) specify n_jobs= 35 , will all the 35 cores be used
(while the maximum possible job combination is 32)?
Off course, I want to avoid the situation where the core is reserved but
not used.
