memtest uses only 1 CPU, so it doesn't care how many more are |
| 8 |
installed. You could have 4096 CPUs, like the largest IBM mainframes, |
| 9 |
and memtest will still use only 1 of them. |

Note that all memory is accessible from all CPUs, even on a NUMA |
| 12 |
system. This is why memtest does not need to use multiple CPUs. |
