      <Paragraph>To improve processing speed, some planning runs can run in
		parallel on multiple processors (CPUs). To do this, set these sessions to run
		in multiple <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000457" role="glossary">bshells</Link>. Each bshell can run on its own CPU.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>This section describes the setup. For general information on the
		concept, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/performance/cp/P000001_multiple_bshells_concept" role="manual">Parallel processing concept</Link>.</Paragraph>
