I think the missing point for me was node-server. I knew how to
start a few server examples, but in general threaded-server requires
an encoding and a few parameters for configuration. What was not
obvious for me was how to create a server that would work with Factor
distributed message passing
- is it possible to start the second Factor instance from the first
one? I guess this is possible using run-detached, but maybe there is
something Factor specific.
Phil Dawes spent some time working on a patchset to allow starting multiple
Factor VM's in their own threads. You can see a

Looks like the API for starting servers/nodes has changed quite a bit.
If you look at the following file you'll see
I wrote a few posts about servers, here is one simple echo server example:

Also, this is a telnet server implemented fairly simply:

If you're talking about use in a single master process + multiple threads than
check out the LMAX disruptor approach for inter-thread communication.

Thank you for you response. Regarding the possibility
I am trying to make this work, but I have issues with the line
myhost.com 9001 start-server
in the documentation. start-server takes a threaded server as input,
and this just does not run as is. I could try with a threaded server,
but I am not sure how to configure it, and what encoding to use.
Thank you for you response. Regarding the possibility if delegating
CPU intensive tasks to multiple tasks: what about communication? Is
there an idiomatic way to make processes communicate without blocking?
There is ZeroMQ, but as far as I know it is blocking. It would be nice
to develop something
ZeroMQ has a non-blocking mode. You can get a file descriptor that can
be passed to select/epoll/kqueue. Factor has its own channel and
serialization system to. See:

Hi Andrea,
I'm not an expert, so take what's written below with a grain of
salt. It mostly comes from what I've snapped up from varius places and
reading the mailing list archive (eg
http://search.gmane.org/?query=threadinggroup=comp.lang.factor.generalsort=relevance).

Hi, I have read in various places, including this mailing list, that
Factor does not currently have support for (preemptive, kernel-level)
multithreading, and that adding support for that would require a great
deal of changes, since the underlying VM and many core words are not
thread-safe.
