*must be expanded* In this paragraph, some additional options are discussed.
* -p <configure manually number of parallel processes> * -p <configure manually number of parallel processes>*
* -j <enable hyper threading>
* -l <PPSS log file> This option allows you to specify how many parallel proceses should be started. Thus, automatic detection of CPUs and cores is overruled. This is useful, for example, when downloading a bunch of files in parallel, or other tasks that are not bound by the number of available CPUs.
* -j <enable hyper threading>*
If a CPU is found that supports hyper threading, the additional cores are used. For example, an Intel Core 7i quad-core processor supports HT, thus has effectively 8 cores. When HT is enabled, not 4 but 8 parallel jobs are started.
* -l <PPSS log file>*
This option allows you to specify a custom name for the log file that is used by PPSS itself.
