hennas New Member henry clarke Join Date: May 2009 Posts: 7 Rep Power: 17	Hi all, how many partitions should I use for parallel processing with a quad-core computer? I have selected 4 as this appears to be the default, but when I view the partitions this creates 4 partition interfaces ie. 5 segregated areas. This being the case, should I select 3 partitions so that there is one section of the grid being processed in each core? Thanks
