Hello,
I have a little question about how pre-emption works with the
FiberScheduler. Let's say I create 100.000 fibers that all run
long-runners (such as calculating fibonacci(100)). Now I start
another fiber that just prints "hello world" to the console. So
it's a short runner. When can I expect "hello world" to appear on
the console?
a. Will take a long time in case fibonacci(100) never does any
yield.
b. The FiberScheduler will do a yield periodically. So "hello
world" will be displayed in not so long time
c. I need to do a yield from within the fibonacci function here
and then for "hello world" to be displayed in not so long time
Just for my understanding ...
Thanks, Bienlein
