Subject: [Caml-list] Nproc: process pools for OCaml (request for suggestions)
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:54:46 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ED59AF6.1030506@ens-lyon.org> (raw)

I would like to publicize Nproc, which is an implementation of process
pools for OCaml based on fork, pipes, Marshal and Lwt:

  https://github.com/MyLifeLabs/nproc

Using Nproc involves:

1. Creating a pool of N processes, N being chosen by the user.
2. Running tasks:
  a. Submitting a task (f, x) of any type.
  b. Defining what to do when the result becomes available.

Possible uses of Nproc include:

- running CPU-intensive tasks on multiple cores
- detaching synchronous operations for which a non-blocking version is
not available


Let me know of your comments, suggestions, questions, etc.


Martin
