Hi guys, I'm sorry, I'm not sure this is the correct group to be asking this kind of question...
I'm going to develop a software package that includes a web server (and PHP code) , a database, and some Python code of course. I am being strongly suggested to make it to work on a dual- or multi-core computer, but I'm confused on how to take advantage of the multiple CPUs. >From what I read, I think that simply by making the package run in several separate processes (web server, database server, Python interpreter, etc.), and/or using multiple threads (which I will anyway) the package should be able to use multiple CPUs. Is my understanding correct? So actually, all I have to do is just write my multi-threaded Python code as usual? And how is it decided which process and which threads go to CPU 1, CPU 2, etc.? Perhaps the BIOS? Any advice greatly appreciated. Andy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
