--- Comment #1 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
It is user's/programmer's responsibility to prevent oversubscribing the CPU.
You can use OMP_NUM_THREADS=nn in environment, num_threads clause on parallel
region, or if you really want to oversubscribe the CPU, you can tune whether
the library will do busy waiting or not and how much (OMP_WAIT_POLICY=active,
OMP_WAIT_POLICY=passive, GOMP_SPINCOUNT=, affinity, ..., omp_* APIs that allow
to fine tune the earlier mentioned env var settings, etc.
