But what about multiple-processor concurrency? Aren't threads
necessary to scale programs to multi-core computers?
- Processes are necessary to scale to multi-core computers, not
- memory-sharing threads. The fundamentals of scalable systems are
- fast networking and non-blocking design—the rest is message
- passing. In future versions, Node will be able to fork new
- processes (using the Web
- Workers API ) which fits well into the current design.
+ You can start new processes via child_process.fork()
+ these other processes will be scheduled in parallel.
