make -j$(nproc) will run compilation using multiple cores, if available.

The nproc reports number of CPU cores, and the -j flag to make will run compilation in parallel.

P.S. you better not compile anything by hand in CentOS and stick to RPM packaging, which will usually have spec files which make use of the above mentioned parallel compilation.

By hand-compiling stuff in an Community Enterprise OS, you're essentially turning it to something that it's not. (hand compiling will result in not enterprise, insecure, outdated software, sooner or later).
