Message: [QUOTE="ara.t.howard, post: 4618797"] i think that's a correct assessment alright. time and time again i find that spawning a bunch of processes via threads is the easiest and most powerful method of achieving parallelism with ruby - and in general. i know it's not sexy, but being able to test a computation unit from the command line and then simply fan them out across cpus or even many nodes make incremental development super easy and let's us use all the tools we're accustomed to (ps, free, top, ssh, ruby) to manage the computational units. it's interesting that you're also following this pattern. cheers. a @ [URL]http://codeforpeople.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
