Just to answer this for anyone that finds this thread, I was using 1.7.2 Julia and the VSCode Julia extension v.1.6.6, and the nice box to change the number of threads wasn’t there. Instead there was a “Edit in settings.json” link.
I could change the threads in the terminal instance of Julia but it wouldn’t register in my Jupyter notebooks within VS Code. Eventually, I figured out the solution.
Here’s what I added to the settings.json
file:
"julia.NumThreads": 12,
"settingsSync.ignoredSettings": [
"-julia.NumThreads"
],
Altogether, the settings.json
file should look something like the following:
{
# Probably has some settings for
# color schemes, zoomlevel, etc.
# Then you should add these lines:
"julia.NumThreads": 12,
"settingsSync.ignoredSettings": [
"-julia.NumThreads"
],
}
