MTQ

Parameter type: optional, dynamic

To specify a maximum number of threads to use when processing queries, add the following line to Tm1s.cfg:

MTQ=n

where n represents the number of threads to be used for a single query.

By default multi-threaded queries are disabled because MTQ is not present in the tm1s.cfg file. Setting MTQ=1 or MTQ=0 also disables multi-threaded query execution.

Best practice is to set MTQ to the highest available combination of physical and multi-threaded cores. For example, a quad core hyper-threaded machine could have 4 physical and 4 hyper-threaded cores. The MTQ setting for that machine should be MTQ=8.
