User Specified
Select the User Specified option to stipulate the number of concurrent compiles to allow in the IDE. Enter the desired number in the text box beside the option.
NOTE
The IDE accommodates a maximum of 1024 concurrent compiles. However, there is a point where the host system becomes compute-bound, and allowing more processes only adds overhead. For a single-processor system, the practical limit is approximately 12 concurrent compiles.

Value
The Value text box defines the value of the variable defined in the Variable text box that will be passed to a host application when control is transferred to it by the IDE.
