+    Notes
+    -----
+    On Python < 3.13, the CPU core count is estimated using `os.cpu_count()`, which may not always be accurate. On Python >= 3.13, `os.process_cpu_count()` is used for a more accurate count.
+

+    ----------
+    mode : str, optional
+        Indicates how to display the config information. ‘stdout’ prints to console, ‘dicts’ returns a dictionary of the configuration.
+    
+    Returns
+    -------
+    config : dict, optional
+        If `mode` is set to 'dicts', returns a dictionary containing the configuration information.
