I don't know if mapping Smalltalk processes to native threads is the way to go, given the pain I've seen in the Java and C# space.<br><br>What might be interesting is to develop low-level primitives (along the lines of the famed map/reduce operations) that provide parallel processing versions of commonly used collection functions.
<br><br>No idea how easy this would be to do, but on the surface seems more promising than trying to do process/thread jiggery pokery.<br><br>Steve<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/17/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

This is not my area but I imagine that somehow Squeak processes should map<br>to OS native threads paralellizable by each of the cores. Any chance to<br>Exupery be of some help on that? I ask because if it is then is a must for
