Support for configurable parallelism inside builders. Build
scripts have always had the ability to perform multiple build
actions in parallel (for instance, by running <command>make -j
2</command>), but this was not desirable because the number of
actions to be performed in parallel was not configurable. Nix
now has an option <option>--cores
<replaceable>N</replaceable></option> as well as a configuration
setting <varname>build-cores =
<replaceable>N</replaceable></varname> that causes the
environment variable <envar>NIX_BUILD_CORES</envar> to be set to
<replaceable>N</replaceable> when the builder is invoked. The
builder can use this at its discretion to perform a parallel
build, e.g., by calling <command>make -j
<replaceable>N</replaceable></command>. In Nixpkgs, this can be
enabled on a per-package basis by setting the derivation
attribute <varname>enableParallelBuilding</varname> to
<literal>true</literal>.

#
# This option defines the number of CPU cores to utilize in parallel
# within a build job, i.e. by passing an appropriate `-jN' flag to GNU
# make. The default is 1, meaning that parallel building within jobs
# Make. The default is 1, meaning that parallel building within jobs
# is disabled. Passing the special value `0' causes Nix to try and
# auto-detect the number of available cores on the local host. This
# setting can be overridden using the `--cores' command line switch.
