Greetings, I am evaluating languages and implementations for embedding, and the key feature I need is great multi-core support.
Javascript is an interesting choice (compared to Ruby and Python in particular) due to its heritage of separate independent contexts. How does v8 support threading? What locks would prevent multiple threads of execution from attaining good parallelism? How much parallelism has been seen in the wild? (I can imaging adding some of this information to the architecture notes....) Diving through the mailing list is tough because of the spam. Please excuse me if this question has been asked and answered before. cheers, -brianb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
