That's exactly what threads_a_gogo is for: <https://github.com/xk/node-threads-a-gogo> It lets you run these calculations in parallel, in javascript, in threads, and using all the available CPU cores. Then the main thread will receive the results in a callback or via an event. -- Jorge. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
