Quick help with CPU settings

Post by 3mg4 »

Hello,

Quick question:

Is it better/faster to run one WU on multiple cores of the CPU or let each core run one WU?

Thank you for your help

1 core 1WU or 1CPU 1 Wu

One WU per CPU is usually better (FAH can use all available cores to work on a single WU).
