Hi Harish For the EventJobManager (the default EnhancementJobManager implementation used by Apache Stanbol) parallel execution is done by multiple threads. If those threads are executed on different cores depends on the JVM and Operating System, but I would expect that this is the case. The EventJobManager uses the OSGI Event Admin service [1] for its implementation. Engines that can be executed are called asynchronously by using 'EventAdmin#postEvent(..)'
Stanbol does not support to execute EnhancementJobs on multiple machines. best Rupert [1] http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v42/org/osgi/service/event/package-summary.html On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 6:33 AM, harish suvarna <[email protected]> wrote: > The graph chain documentation says the components can be executed in > parallel. > > > ==== > > Engines are executed as soon as all engines they depend on have completed. > This also includes if optional engines were skipped (because they are not > active) or failed.
