Comet parameter: num_threads

  • This parameter controls the number of processing threads that will be spawned for a search. Ideally the number of threads is set to the same value as the number of CPU cores available.
  • Valid values range for this parameter are numbers ranging from 0 to 32.
  • A value of 0 will cause Comet to poll the system and launch the same number of threads as CPU cores. This is the default setting.
  • To set an explicit thread count, enter any value between 1 and 32.

Example:
num_threads = 0
num_threads = 8
