Hi All, I wonder what is an Actor underneath ? I mean I understand that they are Object that have a state, mailbox , listeners and all that but the moment I hear Actors can "crash" and "restart and run or process again" I think of it as some scheduling/processing entity and I wonder if that entity is a green thread that are eventually mapped to Kernel threads like the M:N model?
The statement below says Actors "conceptually" have their own light weight thread. what does "conceptually" mean here? If they are not green threads can we simply say Actors are objects that are scheduled on Kernel threads using ForkJoin Pool? http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/general/actors.html "Akka actors conceptually each have their own light-weight thread" Thanks! -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
