Question 1)
- If a machine has dual CPUs - either per chip or on a quad mac -
do threads
that I create inside an RB app always sit inside the same process
and CPU ?
If so, is there a way of splitting the workload in an app across
CPUS ?
Question 2)
While waiting for my mac to run a particularly long task, I did some
browsing and came across an Icelandic company CCP that wrote and
runs a
massively multiplayer online game called "Eve". It says in its
technical
blurb that it uses a special version of Python to achieve high
concurrency
and parallelism - called "Stackless" python. And states this
allowed them to
gain much better performance and scaling with regard to parallelism ,
concurrency etc.
Did a a little brief reading , but does anyone out there know
about this?
Is this something that we could benefit from in RB?. It seems to be a
"Python" thing at the moment only. But I doubt if theres anything
fundamental to stop it from being used in other languages..
Bjorn @ Einhugur - know anything about this or your icelandic
comrades ?
No, sorry I don't know a lot about it, I know there was a ad the
other day in the paper, they were looking for people.
I also know that the backed is MS SQL Server (probably clustered).
