Agent Settings Dialog - Build Helper->CPU Utilization Page

The Build Helper->CPU Utilization page defines how the Agent will utilize the machine's processors when participating in distributed builds:

CPU Utilization

This option allows you to override the number of logical processors IncrediBuild detects and reports to the Coordinator.

In certain cases (in particular on machines with dual-core and/or hyperthreaded processors), IncrediBuild may list a choice of more than one possible hardware configuration. Choose the one that best describes your machine's hardware.

Utilize x logical processor(s) - When "User Defined" is selected in the list, this setting can be used to explicitly set a custom number of logical CPUs that will be used to describe this machine.

  • In registered licenses, the "Multiple CPU(s)/core(s)" extension package must be allocated to an Agent in order for it to utilize additional processors or cores in builds.
  • Decreasing the "Utilize x logical processors" setting from a higher value to "1" will deallocate the "Multiple CPU(s)/Core(s)" extension package from the Agent; to restore use of mutliple processors you will need to re-allocate package to the Agent using the Coordinator application.
