Re: [Algorithms] Complexity of new hardware

[Andrew V. <and...@ni...>]

Actually, I think that's a perfectly fine feature if all you care about is
one or two fixed platforms that you already compile for separately anyway.
Which is quite a few us. :)

Knowing exactly how many cores you have and figuring that info in at compile
time might also enable better optimisation or layout of the code by the
compiler as well.

Cheers,
Andrew.
