You're clearly being disingenuous, but I will answer your question in more detail. I already answered it above, but you don't seem to have the time to review the linked open source project.
If I use every core on your device for a decryption job that uses 100% of the resources that you provide it, your decryption job will undoubtedly finish sooner if you provide more resources. It doesn't matter how fast or slow your cores are, or if your computer runs on a big.LITTLE architecture or not.
- seniorgarcia 6y agoSo, why do you need to know how many cores my platform will provide if you can not judge the performance of the cores anyway?
- Sephr 6y agoI answered that question in the comment that you are replying to.
- seniorgarcia 6y agoAnd it is up to the client to manage all this. You do not gain anything by knowing the clients thread count. Which is what I have been complaining about all along.
- jtsiskin 6y agoWhat do you mean “you do not gain anything”? It seems you are confusing GHz with parallelism. The thread count matters, regardless of cpu speed
