ProcessorCount.cmake

# - ProcessorCount(var)
# Determine the number of processors/cores and save value in ${var}
#
# Sets the variable named ${var} to the number of physical cores available on
# the machine if the information can be determined. Otherwise it is set to 0.
# Currently this functionality is implemented for AIX, cygwin, FreeBSD, HPUX,
# IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, QNX, Sun and Windows.
#
# This function is guaranteed to return a positive integer (>=1) if it
# succeeds. It returns 0 if there's a problem determining the processor count.
#
# Example use, in a ctest -S dashboard script:
#
#   include(ProcessorCount)
#   ProcessorCount(N)
#   if(NOT N EQUAL 0)
#     set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS -j${N})
#     set(ctest_test_args ${ctest_test_args} PARALLEL_LEVEL ${N})
#   endif()
#
# This function is intended to offer an approximation of the value of the
# number of compute cores available on the current machine, such that you
# may use that value for parallel building and parallel testing. It is meant
# to help utilize as much of the machine as seems reasonable. Of course,
# knowledge of what else might be running on the machine simultaneously
# should be used when deciding whether to request a machine's full capacity
# all for yourself.

# A more reliable way might be to compile a small C program that uses the CPUID
# instruction, but that again requires compiler support or compiling assembler
# code.
