On the number of CPUs
I run a particular task that allows me to set up the number of CPUs. My computer has 8 CPUs. If I tell the task to use 8 CPUs, does this mean that I cannot run any other task until this job is finished?

The kernel will decide which process gets the next cpu timeslices.
So even if a process runs on all available cores, other processes will still be processed.
Naturally, if there are multiple purely cpu bound processes, they will individually take longer.
But still, each process will get resources.You must always face the curtain with a bow.
