I've been trying to make my music app use dual core, and would very much like some more detailed information on this.
Excuse my lack of knowledge, but how do I explicitly release the GIL ? I haven't learned this, but have found through experimentation that I can release a thread by using time.sleep(0) inside a thread's "run while true" loop. This seems to create an interrupt, and give other threads a chance to do their thing. If this is terribly wrong (it works, but I dont' know how stable it is), please do point me in the direction of a proper way to implement it. As stated in an earlier post, my threads do not work on shared data, so I have not implemented any sort of lock or mutex. best Oeyvind On 10/2/06, Fredrik Lundh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "robert" wrote: > > > Simple Python code obviously cannot use the dual core by Python threads. > > Yet, a program drawing CPU mainly for matrix computations - preferably > > with Numeric/SciPy - will this profit from a dual core when using 2 (or > > more) Python threads? > > as long as the binding releases the GIL, sure. > > </F> > > > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
