The XEN Developers at Cambridge have nice papers to read ... http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~kaf24/ (Others are researching this topic too, General Infos at: ACM / IBM / Linux Kernel) http://www.research.ibm.com/people/m/michael/pldi-2004.pdf I agree that as always in life it depends on the situation on where to use lock free techniques, and where not. Memory Management is a field which can take advantages of such techniques in MT Apps. helmut _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
