Hi, FPC does not yet have parallel loops/procedures, but there is a unit that helps to create parallel procedures/methods (mtprocs). http://wiki.freepascal.org/Parallel_procedures I use this unit since 4 years in several of my projects, which run on linux, os x and windows. Not much was done on the unit in the last years, because it simply works. mtprocs implements a thread pool, although it is not a general purpose one. It uses one extra unit mtpcpu, which has a function to guess the number of cores. I think both features would be nice to have in fpc by default, so maybe they should be added. What do you think?
Pending language support for parallellism, I think this is a good idea. Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
