Hi Ian,

Thanks for your reply. 

I use the zip file rather than the executable file for octave. Maybe I need to try the Octave exe file for the multithreading purpose as you suggested.

As far as I understand, I'm gonna proceed with the following. Kindly advise if I need to make any changes.

• Downloading Octave 5.2.0-64 bit executable from the official GNU Octave website(https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html#ms-windows) for Win 10
• Installing the same and checking with the default OPENBLAS library.
• Assigning the value for the environment variable  OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS = "the number of processors we need to utilize"

The second step is not necessary. Otherwise yes.
