[web-devel] Parallel IO manager

[Kazu Yamamoto ( 山本和彦 )]

Hello,

As you may know, parallel IO manager has been merged to the master
branch of GHC and the base library. If you compile your network code
by this GHC with the "-threaded" option and you execute it with +RTS
-Nx option where "x" is the number of cores, your network code can
utilize the cores. No modification is necessary for your network code.
No more prefork technique!

The parallel IO manager is stable on Linux and FreeBSD. But it is a
little bit unstable on Mac at this moment. If you are interested,
please give a try. And let Andreas and me know if you have problems.
