We would need parallel processing, i.e. a library that distributes jobs accross multiple processors within a machine and accross multiple PCs. Speed and easy programability are important. I have tried to search this issue first, but the postings I found were usually negative and 4-5 years old. On the other hand, I see a number of libraries in the Hump that by now might be taking care of these things. My question is: is ocaml good for parallel processing / hreaded computation, are there (mature) libraries or tools that let developers make use of multicore and multimachine environments? cheers, Atmam --0016e65097fe8b2a1c04635c50d4 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi,
