 # Configure the max degree of parallelism Server Configuration Option
  [!INCLUDE [SQL Server](../../includes/applies-to-version/sqlserver.md)]
 
-  This topic describes how to configure the **max degree of parallelism (MAXDOP)** server configuration option in SQL Server by using [!INCLUDE[ssManStudioFull](../../includes/ssmanstudiofull-md.md)] or [!INCLUDE[tsql](../../includes/tsql-md.md)]. When an instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] runs on a computer that has more than one microprocessor or CPU, it detects the degree of parallelism, that is, the number of processors employed to run a single statement, for each parallel plan execution. You can use the **max degree of parallelism** option to limit the number of processors to use in parallel plan execution. [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] considers parallel execution plans for queries, index data definition language (DDL) operations, parallel inserts, online alter column, parallel stats collection, and static and keyset-driven cursor population.

When an instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] runs on a computer that has more than one microprocessor or CPU, the [!INCLUDE[ssde_md](../../includes/ssde_md.md)] detects whether parallelism can be used. The degree of parallelism sets the number of processors employed to run a single statement, for each parallel plan execution. You can use the **max degree of parallelism** option to limit the number of processors to use in parallel plan execution. For more detail on the limit set by **max degree of parallelism (MAXDOP)**, see [Limitations and Restrictions](#Restrictions) section in this page.

-> [!INCLUDE [sssqlv15-md](../../includes/sssqlv15-md.md)] introduces automatic recommendations for setting the MAXDOP server configuration option during the installation process. The setup user interface allows you to either accept the recommended settings or enter your own value.
