In a Linux environment, you can run "getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN".

In fact that's how I build the native BaseTools on my laptop:

$ . edksetup.sh
$ nice make -C "$EDK_TOOLS_PATH" -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)

And from a cursory web search:

  https://stackoverflow.com/a/23569003

it is supposed to work on macOS too, and with a small tweak, on the BSDs
as well.

Thanks
