no hyperthreading), the 1st CPU may have processor numbers 0,1,3,5, while the other 2,4,6,8. On another node with similar hardware, the processor numbers may be 0,1,2,3 on the 1st CPU and 4,5,6,7 on the second. Hence, tools like likwid or hwloc are very helpful
for getting the hardware layout. You may also obtain this info by looking at /proc/cupinfo on linux.</div>

</span> Depends on the smoother, we don't have any threaded SOR, if you using Jacobi + Cheyby it will be threaded.<br>
