Some question about vCPU, Help!

NeurIPS 2020: Procgen Competition

Hi, I have a question about the vCPUs.
The rules require only one P100 GPU and 16 vCPUs can be used for training. I wonder if 16 vCPUs here are equal to 16 threads of physical CPU? And, what is the basic frequency of a vCPU?

Hello @DRL_AGI

The evaluations happen on Google Cloud Platform. The evaluations run on an n1-standard-16 VM which has 16 vCPUs and 60 GB RAM [refer]. The vCPUs are based on Intel Skylake architecture and have a base clock speed of 2.0 GHz [refer].
