In Panther I used max_cpus to determine the max number of worker threads that should be spawned for a particular purpose. Does this equate to physical_cpu_max or logical_cpu_max in Darwin 8.0.0? I need to use the largest of these values. I suppose that any *new* hardware will not run Panther anyway, but the question remains the same: which is largest, and which value will be used for max_cpus? I can't speak for Tiger, but based on experiences with other operating systems, logical_cpu_max will always be equal to or greater than physical_cpu_max. For example, given dual cores, given two physical CPUs you'd have four logical CPUs. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
