The current implementation uses:

This is not optimal. For example, HT threads can affect this value. Ideally, the default should be based on cache size, etc.

The current code already has hwloc as a dependency. This library provides most of that tools that would be necessary to improve the default value. The following can server as a guide:

We had random crashes when PRs #23 and #27 was incorporated. Reopening to track progress, we need to investigate the causes.
