[Factor-talk] multiple cores

[Phil D. <ph...@ph...>]

Hi Slava, Hi Factor List,

Does anybody have tips for utilising multiple cores with factor? I'm 
100% cpu bound doing in-memory index lookups.

I've done a little playing around and the simplest thing I could come up 
with was forking and then using concurrency.distributed to communicate 
through unix domain sockets.
Obviously forking won't work with windows so I guess that means 
launching multiple processes and TCP, unless there's a better way?

Out of interest, do you think it be much work to make the vm reentrant 
so that multiple factor copies could run in the same process?

Cheers,

Phil
