MaxThreads (system param)

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP

The /MaxThreads system parameter value determines how many threads the RIP will attempt to use. The RIP will try to keep the number of threads set by the /MaxThreads system parameter control busy, but may temporarily restrict or over-subscribe the number of threads for short periods.

/MaxThreads can be an integer or an array. If it is an integer, it sets the maximum active threads (the maximum number of threads will be raised, if it was lower than the new value). If it is an array, it sets the maximum active and the maximum number of threads the RIP can use (limited by the product key). Both of these are limited to the values passed via SwStart() , (which comes from the -p parameter in the skintest example).
