Good catch. I had forgotten that. I did some more tests with 4 queues and found that there seemed to be some contention going on that prevented all cores from being utilized fully. With the example provided 2 cores will pin at 100% (excellent). With 4 atoms and one test fn one core will stay around 20%, no other core > 70%. When I used 4 separate worker fns along with 4 separate atoms things improved and all 4 cores pinned at around 60%. It would be interesting to know why having 4 separate fns makes a difference (STM?).
Wrt 60%: I simply think this was an artifact of my test. If I had spawned another thread to feed another atom I'm sure I could have easily pegged all CPUs to 100%. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
