13.4/14.7 ISE - What is the status of multi-threading support in ISE?

Does ISE support multi-threading and how many processors can be used?

Are all device families supported?

Notes:

SmartXplorer supports parallel runs, and the number of parallel runs can exceed the processor number on the machine.
PlanAhead supports multiple jobs, and the number can be up to the processor number on the machine.

However, SmartXplorer and PlanAhead do not support multi-threading.

Multi-threading can be specified for Map and PAR using a custom strategy file.
