In Mathematica 9 (and earlier for all I know), in Preferences, there is a panel labeled Parallel. There is a section for local kernels, and you can manually set the number of kernels. Setting this to 1 should solve your problem. george On Apr 26, 2013, at 4:25 AM, bradc355113 at yahoo.com wrote: > I've noticed recently (beginning in v8 or so) that some functions seem to make use of multiple threads internally.

For long-running computations, I'd like to be able to say "just use one core" and then just wait longer for the result. >
