X06ACF returns
an upper bound on the number of threads used for subsequent OpenMP parallel regions.
X06ACF, for multi-threaded implementations, returns the number of the threads
to be requested for subsequent parallel regions. The value is the first element of the list held by the OpenMP Internal Control Variable (ICV) used in determining the number of threads. See
Users' Note for your implementation for details of the scope of this routine.
The number of threads used in parallel regions will be equal to, or less than, the first value of the ICV. The actual number of threads used is dependent on several factors, such as the presence of a
num_threads clause on the
parallel directive or the number of threads already in use by the program. Please refer to
Section 4 for a full description of how the number of threads is chosen for a particular parallel region.
In serial implementations of the NAG Library this routine will always return
.
