[gmx-developers] Hardware threads vs. OpenMP threads

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

I don't think anything changed in the master branch.

But we do adhere to the OpenMP environment. The value reported in the 
message comes from omp_get_num_procs, which should be a report about the 
hardware available. OMP_NUM_THREADS sets the number of OpenMP threads to 
use, that is respected.

Cheers,

Berk
