As Chouser pointed out, agents execute one thread at a time such that their data access is synchronized. This is the coordination model they expose. You want multiple threads so you need a different coordination model. I would suggest using a ref as the central data store that can be accessed by multiple worker threads. A convenient way of spawning CPU limited worker threads is to use (submit-future) to be found at the end of this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/51cea7e25fdfe653 or at github http://github.com/timothypratley/strive/blob/master/clj/timothypratley/extensions.clj However there are of course many different approaches to consider: * use pcalls if appropriate * use multiple agents * use futures or threads * do work on thread but coordinate with ref/agent/atom Regards, Tim. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
