This comes from the hardware design. The maximum cores in core complex is 4.
L3 cache can be shared with 8 threads with 2 threads in each core. Idea here is 
to mimic the
Hardware as close as possible to get the performance benefit.
You can look at the datasheet 
https://www.amd.com/system/files/2017-06/AMD-EPYC-Data-Sheet.pdf 
and PPR https://support.amd.com/TechDocs/54945_PPR_Family_17h_Models_00h-0Fh.pdf

Yes, I can use nr_threads here.  Will change it.

Yes, I can make that change.

Ok. Let me try to simplify this whole code segment.
