For Intel CPUs, max values are not about particular CPU but rather
about limitations of CPU's microarchitecture and design. They are
rather useless.

>actual # of   cores/package :   2
>actual # of threads/package :   4
>actual # of threads/core    :   2

In most cases, you would like to run Firefly on this system
using -np 2 option as there are only 2 physical cores.

If you want to use all four logical cores, use -np 4 and edit your
input to add this instruction:

 $smp httfix=.f. $end

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky
