You can set the number of cores to use by writing the following in the .qsf file.
set_global_assignment -name NUM_PARALLEL_PROCESSORS <number of cores>
Example) When setting the number of cores to 8 → set_global_assignment -name NUM_PARALLEL_PROCESSORS <number of cores>

You can also check the number of cores actually used in the report output after compilation.

Reports are saved in the following directory:
<project directory>/output_files/<project name>.fit.rpt

In the <project name>.fit.rpt file there is an item called Parallel Compilation where you can see the number of cores used.
