+# - ProcessorCount(var)
+# Determine the number of processors/cores and save value in ${var}
+#
+# Sets the variable named ${var} to the number of physical cores available on
+# the machine if the information can be determined. Otherwise it is set to 0.
+# Currently this functionality is implemented for AIX, cygwin, FreeBSD, HPUX,
+# IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, QNX, Sun and Windows.
+#
+# This function is guaranteed to return a positive integer (>=1) if it
+# succeeds. It returns 0 if there's a problem determining the processor count.
+#
+# Example use, in a ctest -S dashboard script:
+#
+#   include(ProcessorCount)
+#   ProcessorCount(N)
+#   if(NOT N EQUAL 0)
+#     set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS -j${N})
+#     set(ctest_test_args ${ctest_test_args} PARALLEL_LEVEL ${N})
+#   endif()
+#
+# This function is intended to offer an approximation of the value of the
+# number of compute cores available on the current machine, such that you
+# may use that value for parallel building and parallel testing. It is meant
+# to help utilize as much of the machine as seems reasonable. Of course,
+# knowledge of what else might be running on the machine simultaneously
+# should be used when deciding whether to request a machine's full capacity
+# all for yourself.
+
+# A more reliable way might be to compile a small C program that uses the CPUID
+# instruction, but that again requires compiler support or compiling assembler
+# code.
