I don't know, but here's another interesting place (#perl6 IRC search page) that sometimes turns up additional interesting info (although not much this time): http://colabti.de/irclogger/irclogger_log_search/perl6 FYI, searching on "autothreading" gives: Results: 2006-08-10,Thu 1523 [14:02] <gaal> what, your shell doesn't have autothreading? 2006-07-04,Tue 558 [16:52] <stevan> putter: it would almost certainly involve junctive autothreading 2006-03-15,Wed 95 [00:31] <TimToady> autothreading happens <mystical handwaving> 99 [00:33] <LeTo> and autothreading is or course useful, if e.g. you got some spare CPUs to do it, but how? 107 [00:40] <LeTo> TimToady: I see the future PC having a lot of CPUs (my shiny new Athlon X2 got 2 already), having just more M^HGhz tendency is already stopped, the 'autothreading' or whatever parallel construct should consider this [...] Best regards, Conrad Schneiker http://perl.net.au/wiki/Perl_6_Users_FAQ (Moved from AthenaLab to Perl 6 Wiki.) www.AthenaLab.com (Nano-electron-beam and micro-neutron-beam technology.)
