Central processing units (CPU) and cores: A core is the basic computation unit of the CPU. At the hardware level, a CPU consists of one or more cores where each core is a processing unit. Increasing cores enables more jobs to run simultaneously and significantly increases work completed. At the software level, there is no distinction between CPUs and cores, therefore, the total number of cores is reported as the number of CPUs. This is the case with Partek Flow as all references to CPU counts are the total number of CPU cores in the computer.
