+*******
+Threads
+*******
+
+XGBoost has built in support for parallel computation through threads by the setting
+``nthread`` parameter (``n_jobs`` for scikit-learn).  If these parameters are set, they
+will override the configuration in Dask.  For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+  with LocalCluster(n_workers=7, threads_per_worker=4) as cluster:
+
+There are 4 threads allocated for each dask worker.  Then by default XGBoost will use 4
+threads in each process for both training and prediction.  But if ``nthread`` parameter is
+set:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+  output = xgb.dask.train(client,
+                          {'verbosity': 1,
+                           'nthread': 8,
+                           'tree_method': 'hist'},
+                          dtrain,
+                          num_boost_round=4, evals=[(dtrain, 'train')])
+
+XGBoost will use 8 threads in each training process.

 Why is the initialization of ``DaskDMatrix``  so slow and throws weird errors
