I'm sure the answer to my question is no, but anyway...

   Is there a way to determine how many processors a computer has
   so that you can spawn the appropriate # of tasks to take advantage
   of them (e.g. you may want to create sufficient tasks to farm work
   out to, but not so many that you get thrashing).

If not how do people handle this situation?
