ehsan benabbas is still having a problem:
Thank you for the answer. By doing -j4 the iter/sec will increase.
But, when I use the following command:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor -c
I get "8" as an output which means my PC has 8 processor. (is that right?)
At the same time, if I use the follwoing command:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
This will be my output

power management:
Which means my PC has 4 cores. Watching the "System Monitor" of my
Ubuntu, I see 8 CUPs (CUP1, CUP2,...,CUP8). So, it means that these 4
cores have 8 processors overall (is that correct?)
When I run my code by the following command
/home/ehsan/yade/install/bin/yade-2019-08-08.git-775ae74 -j4 packing.py
Only 4 CUPs of those 8 CUPs in "System Monitor" will be engaged and the other 4
will not.
When I run my code with the following command
/home/ehsan/yade/install/bin/yade-2019-08-08.git-775ae74 -j8 packing.py
I get lower rate for iter/sec in comparison with -j4 while in "System Monitor"
all 8 CPUs are engaged.
