Controlling the core utilisationIf multithreading is enabled (see above), L3DT will auto-detect the number of available cores on start-up, and will allocate one calculation thread per core. If you would like to change the number of cores used (e.g. limit to three cores on a quad-core system), open the 'Settings→Local settings' menu option, disable the 'Calc→ThreadManager→AutoDetectCoreCount' flag, and set the 'Calc→ThreadManager→MaxThreadCount' entry to the desired value.
The maximum number of cores currently supported by L3DT Professional is 8.
