How to set CPU number and its cores when I create a Virtual Server

Question

I've used SoftLayer Java API to create Virtual Server and want to set CPU number and core number. I know hardware have have "processorCoreAmount" could be set core number, and here is part of my code:

Guest guest = new Guest();
guest.setHostname("host-" + RandomStringUtils.randomAlphanumeric(5).toLowerCase());
guest.setDomain(t.getDatacenter() + ".softlayer.com");
guest.setStartCpus(2);
guest.setMaxCpuUnits(4); 
**guest.setProcessorCoreAmount(4);** // no such a method.

My question:

1. How to set Processor Core Amount in Virtual Server?
   
2. Does MaxCpuUnits could be limit the Max CPU number or Max Core number of each CPU?
