Re: single threaded web servers

Yes I know it's possible to fork multiple processes with one thread in each and all that jazz. I'm asking in the context of Erez' response - if he runs single-threaded code on a multiprocessor hardware, how would he take advantage of more than one processor core? On 3 July 2016 at 08:35, Steve

Re: single threaded web servers

Thanks for the explanation. I like this. How would a single-threaded process take advantage of muti- CPU? On 2 Jul 2016 5:49 PM, "Erez D" wrote: > doing some research on servers i found out that i can handle more > connections simultaneously as single threaded. > on thread

Re: single threaded web servers

you didn't say you needed dynamic content - your example "code" seemed to focus on serving static content. try to be more specific about what you need --guy On 07/02/2016 06:41 PM, Erez D wrote: On Sat, Jul 2, 2016 at 2:00 PM, guy keren

Re: single threaded web servers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thttpd and https://www.lighttpd.net/ both existed before anyone used javascript on server side, as far as i know (and they are written in C, not C++) --guy On 07/02/2016 10:49 AM, Erez D wrote: doing some research on servers i found out that i can handle more

Re: single threaded web servers

doing some research on servers i found out that i can handle more connections simultaneously as single threaded. on thread per connection i have a huge overhead, just think of the default 2MB stack per connection - 1000 connections is 2GB ram just for stack. however as single threaded, i can
