Number of Threads

Here you specify how many computer processors and cores you want to use with your simulations.

This option is only available if your graphic card supports OpenCL-CPU calculations. With very fast multi-core CPUs, the GPU's impact on the simulation is often negligible. 

Device

Choose, which GPU you want to use. Please note that only one GPU can be used for simulations. Simulations with multiple → fluid containers do not benefit from GPU support at the moment. In this case it is better to disable "Use OpenCL-GPU".
