CpuCount

Count = CpuCount()

Parameters: NONE

Returns:     Count = The number of cpu's the current system has

The CpuCount query's the system cpu's / cores and hyper threading and returns this infomation as a CPU count. It supports systems with more than one cpu, and cpu's with more than one core.       Single core/cpu systems can have a feature called Hyper Threading in them, If detected CpuCount returns this as if it was a second 'core'. Since those cpu's can generally thread better than cpu's without it. FACTS:       * CpuCount is useful when we wish to determine if our program should use threading on not. (See BlitImageThreadMode)       * CpuCount can return more than one on systems that are fitted with single systems, if the CPU includes hyper threading technology. Mini Tutorial:            If cpucount() >1            Print "This seems to have some extra CPU's or cores"         Else      Print "Single CPU / Cored System"         EndIf    ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key   Sync   WaitKey
