1.18.74. NUM_PARALLEL_PROCESSORS

Specifies the maximum number of processors allocated for parallel compilation on a single machine. For parallel compilation you can use all available processors on your machine, or specify the number of processors you want to use. For example, if you have a quad-core processor machine and want to leave one processor free for other tasks, you specify '3' as the setting of this option. A setting of '1' disables parallel compilation.
