Subject: [Caml-list] Will Ocaml use a 4-way SMP box without splitting the program into separate processes?
Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2001 21:59:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AAEBJHFJOIPMMIILCEPBCEOKCNAA.mattias.waldau@abc.se> (raw)
As I understand it, Ocaml has one master lock for handling threading.
Doesn't this mean that a process can never use more than one processor?
And if that is true, following Xavier Leroy idea "Using
separate processes for the HTTP server/servlet container and for the
servlets (but not starting a new servlet process on each request like
CGI does)" is the only scalable way to go.
Because, I don't think a solution that doesn't use a SMP-machine effectively
is a good solution.

What have I misunderstood?
