Hi guys! I'm considering doing a server project in Haskell, using GHC, and I'm having the old dilema of trying to figure out the best way of handling multiple concurrent connections: multiplexing or multithreading.
I've started looking into the docs on GHC's implementation of Concurrent-Haskell, and I got confused about the architecture. Different sources seem to indicate that it either: - Uses one OS thread, and blocking IO calls will therefore block all the Haskell-threads, or - Uses one OS thread, occasionaly (50 times a second?) calling select() to simulate blocking IO calls without blocking other Haskell-threads, or - Uses a pool of OS threads so that when a blocking IO call is made, another thread takes over execution. So which is right for the current stable GHC? And how efficient/scalable is it? Thanks, -Jony __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
