IBM is working on JVM which will work with NGPT.
Yeah, then one route in getting that kind support going under Linux is for them to get enough Posix conformance in NGPT system, so that the Solaris threading implementation can be used in place of the LinuxThreads infrastructure. This is what was basically done in the FreeBSD port recently so you folks should be able to get some simple patches to get a head start for porting to NGPT. LinuxThreads is terribly anyways, so it's probably a good thing to get rid of it. A good M:N threading system should be able to get you green threads like context switch performance while the IO system is back by a kernel threading entity... FreeBSD's libc_r (Posix threading) is basically a kind of green threading for those that don't know... ;) bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
