Subject: [Caml-list] Nproc: process pools for OCaml (request for suggestions)
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:54:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ED59AF6.1030506@ens-lyon.org> (raw)
I would like to publicize Nproc, which is an implementation of process
pools for OCaml based on fork, pipes, Marshal and Lwt:
https://github.com/MyLifeLabs/nproc
Using Nproc involves:
1. Creating a pool of N processes, N being chosen by the user.
2. Running tasks:
a. Submitting a task (f, x) of any type.
b. Defining what to do when the result becomes available.
Possible uses of Nproc include:
- running CPU-intensive tasks on multiple cores
- detaching synchronous operations for which a non-blocking version is
not available
Let me know of your comments, suggestions, questions, etc.
Martin
