The -iqnumbercpus switch on the Sybase IQ startup command lets you specify the number of CPUs available to IQ. This switch is recommended only:
On machines with Intel® CPUs and hyperthreading enabled
On machines where an operating system utility has been used to restrict Sybase IQ to a subset of the CPUs within the machine
For details, see “Setting the number of CPUs” in the Sybase IQ System Administration Guide.
