Pd will only use one core, and one core for the GUI. There are ways to distribute the load over several cores, e.g. [pd~] or use several instances of Pd that communicate with each others:
Pd will use multiple threads for a few specific tasks, like streaming soundfiles from disk (with [readsf~]).
I just wanted to state, that you cannot distribute arbitrary tasks in Pd to several threads, and therefore CPU cores without a) stating it explicitely via [pd~] (or [netsend]/[netreceive] or any other way of inter-instance communication), or b) using externals that support threading.
Gem will also try to utilize multiple threads for special tasks as well, like image acquisition.
