Hi,
I’m recently writing a formal verification tool in OCaml, and it
works really well, but I’m considering writing a concurrent version.
However, until now, there seems to be no way to write programs that take
advantage of multi-cores. So, I’m wondering when will OCaml support
multi-core programming? Or else, do I have other choices by using some
external extensions of OCaml instead of the standard library?
Thanks,
Jian

To accelerate something, probably you want paralellism, not concurrency. I recomend parmap, but there are some other libraries out there too for that purpose (in opam: forkwork and probably others I don't know). But be careful that too fine granularity calculations don't parallelize well. For example, if you are analyzing source code, maybe analyzing distinct files in parallel would be a coarse enough granularity. > So, I’m wondering when will OCaml support > multi-core programming?
