Singular Manual: Parallel computing

| ## E.2 Parallel computing # Parallel computing in SINGULAR The available ressources are given by the number of cpus (set by the command line parameter `--cpus=..`, or the environment variable `SINGULAR_CPUS`, defaults to the number of processors currently online) and the number of threads (set by the command line parameter `--threads=..`, defaults to 1). Threads are currently used with FLINT and NTL. If is uses as a libary, the default are 1 in botrh cases. Setting `--cpus` to 0 disables the creation of new processes and chooses a sequentiell algorithm if possible. Setting `--cpus` to 1 chooses a sequentiell algorithm in many cases. Using parallel algorithms can reduce the overall computing time, by can also increase the memory usage by a factor given by the number of used cpu cores.
