Arguments

Default

OFF

Default heuristics are used when option /MP is specified.

Description

This option disables the default heuristics used when compiler option /MP:n is specified. You must specify it when you specify option /MP:n.

Option /MP:n sets the maximum number of processes that can be used to compile large numbers of source files at the same time. However, default heuristics may cause the number of processes to be less than specified.

Option /MP-force ensures that n will be the maximum number of processes spawned regardless of other heuristics which may limit the number of processes.
