Well, the event loop has much lower cpu costs overall for the same jobs.
Reading http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/docs/st.html helped to
convince me.
The event loop combined with coroutines seems indeed the optimal approach.
Though I'm still a bit unsure about one aspect.
My project is a CORBA like application with the difference that the
encoding is designed for stream oriented processing. It is thus a
middleware and the task to be performed is in general user defined. And
such a user defined task could be to compute a few thousand decimals of
Pi which will monopolize the CPU if not preempted.
Is there a way to have a pure single threaded EDSM model per CPU core
and still be able to cope with such type of use cases ? For instance,
could a signal triggered by a timer be used to switch coroutines and
emulate a preemptive multithreaded system ? I thought about this but it
seemed like reinventing the wheel, so I gave up and decided to rely on
kernel developers to do things right.
