Simple iteration in a single interpreter should be more than RA> sufficient. how autothreading is implemented is distinct from the language feature. a simple version is the iteration mentioned above. but on a multiprocessor with (poosibly prespawned) threads on a large junction, it could be much faster to use parrot threads. but that is just an optimization which uses parallel processing and is not needed for working junction semantics. larry has hinted that autothreading could be parallel underneath if that is supported. maybe choosing the desired implementation would be a pragma. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ uri@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.orgThread Previous | Thread Next
