The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Schedule::Parallel
DSLIP: Rdpfp
description: N-way parallel execution of queue via forks.
userid: LEMBARK (Steven Lembark)
chapterid: 4 (Operating_System_Interfaces)
communities:
similar:
Schedule::At Schedule::Cron Schedule::Load
rationale:
Schedule:: seems likely since this runs the jobs N-way parallel. It
does not perform any significant process control (aside from reaping
children). It isn't really a system interface, since the forked
process begins life by running a closure rather than exec or system.
It was originally developed to simplify database loading and
gzip-ing from large directories.
Main difference between this and others is taking in an array of
closures. This simplifies building the queue: Items do not need to
be of the same type or package to get executed. Building the queue
can reduce to a single map statement in many cases (see test.pl).
Main differences between this and other scheduling modules is
keeping track of N-way execution and a simple interface.
