Intel® C++ Compiler 16.0 User and Reference Guide
Creates multiple processes that can be used to compile large numbers of source files at the same time.
Linux and OS X: | -multiple-processes[=n] |
Windows: | /MP[:n] |
n |
Is the maximum number of processes that the compiler should create. |
OFF |
A single process is used to compile source files. |
This option creates multiple processes that can be used to compile large numbers of source files at the same time. It can improve performance by reducing the time it takes to compile source files on the command line.
This option causes the compiler to create one or more copies of itself, each in a separate process. These copies simultaneously compile the source files.
If n is not specified for this option, the default value is as follows:
On Windows* OS, the value is based on the setting of the NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS environment variable.
On Linux* OS and OS X*, the value is 2.
This option applies to compilations, but not to linking or link-time code generation.
