Does numOfCPUs count logical processors?

Hey everyone,

when entering the number of CPUs for simulation components, does ladybug consider the logical processors (if I have 8 cores which can run 2 threads, can I input 16 CPUs for the 16 logical processors) or is it more like parallelism, running on multiple cores only, so when I enter 10 CPUs for 8 cores it tops out at 8 because it only considers 1 thread on 1 core?

My knowledge on this topic is very slim, in case I mixed some terms up I apologize in advance :face_with_monocle:

It depends. See this discussion:
