APS or IRUN multithread = multicore?

greatqs

Is the terminology of "multithread" (i.e. +mt = x) in APS/IRUN means number of CPU core to use? On a 12 cpu core machines, the max number of "multithread" should be 12, is it right? Thanks

    No, you don't need to do that. The +mt argument is only used for APS anyway - and the digital HDL is not multi-threaded so will be handled in the "main" thread. Given that the analog solver and digital "solver" are not active at the same time, there's no real benefit in having the digital in a separate thread from the analog (there has to be synchronization between the analog and digital - this is a consequence of how the two worlds are aligned).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
