Jmeter distributed Testing - How does Ramp up time work in Distributed load testing

If I run distributed testing in GUI mode with 4 client servers(1 Master + 3 Slave) and set the following values in my Plan -

Number of Threads = 12000  
Ramp Up time = 1000  
Loop count = 1  

After completion of Test I get 36000 Samples (which is ok as 12000 * 3 = 36000) but my question is for ramp up time - will it be 3000 for 36000 users?? or will it remain 1000 for 36000

Thanks in Advance

How does JMeter determine ramp up period?

The ramp-up period tells JMeter how long to take to "ramp-up" to the full number of threads chosen. If 10 threads are used, and the ramp-up period is 100 seconds, then JMeter will take 100 seconds to get all 10 threads up and running. Each thread will start 10 (100/10) seconds after the previous thread was begun.

It will be 1000, the same for all client.

Note such a load test profile seems strange as running only 1 request is not what happens with usual usage, what are you trying to simulate ?
