This widget allows to set the number of processor to be used by the conduction part. In that combo box, an upper limit has been set at 8000 so far. In the case, you absolutely need more than that (which is highly unlikely for classical cluster), you can modify it directly in the ASCII file since there is really no limit in the SYRTHES code itself.

The probleme is then more related to a not optimal use of the computer ressources. Indeed, for a SYRTHES calculation to require more than 8000 processors would mean both a huge calculation and a cluster with weak performance processors (low frequency for example) and a very efficient network.
