- nJobs
- 
$njobs = PACKAGE::nJobs(); $njobs = PACKAGE::nJobs($njobsRequest);Gets non-negative number of parallel jobs (threads) for user request $njobsRequest, which defaults to the current value of the package variable$DiaColloDB::NJOBS, or -1 if it is undefined.If $njobsRequestis negative, returns the number of CPU cores on the system via nCores(). Otherwise, if (0 < $njobsRequest < 1), $njobsRequest is interpreted as the desired fraction of the number of available CPU cores to be used, and returns($njobsRequest*nCores()). In all other cases,$njobsRequestis interpreted as an exact number of jobs to use, ans is returned asint($njobs+0).
