    Hej Nick!

    Seems as though you could make that work with a couple more, if you
    wanted to! ;)

    <Esc>:read !nproc --help
    Usage: nproc [OPTION]...
    Print the number of processing units available to the current process,
    which may be less than the number of online processors

    --all print the number of installed processors
    --ignore=N if possible, exclude N processing units
    --help display this help and exit
    --version output version information and exit

    Report bugs to: bug-coreutils@gnu.org
    GNU coreutils home page: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>
    General help using GNU software: <https://www.gnu.org/gethelp/>
    Full documentation <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/nproc>
    or available locally via: info '(coreutils) nproc invocation'

    Encorporating 'nproc' into the penguin matrix generator reports --all of the processing units by default. Less is readily possible but I don't believe more is without cheating. As of this writing the extra-special offline MSGing thingy on "Little Mikey's EuroPoint" will report 16 which is correct. On "Little Mikey's Brain" the total number of processing units is 12 and I haven't updated it to use the tighter penguin matrix for 12.

    Your milage will of course vary ... or not as the case might be.

    Hey Maurice!

    Consider it done. We're now in sync.

    There you go! Now you don't have to update anything until you get a new machine with more than 16 cores. ;)

    Hey Nick!

    Now you don't have to update anything

    Heh. I am not betting the farm on it.

    until you get a new machine with more than 16 cores.

    Ah! My backup machine for either the Brain or EuroPoint has four. Anything more than 16 is out of reach at the moment. Also I am trying to keep power consumption to a minimum thus any upgrades would more than likely be far less than 16.
