> Why Must Software Be Rewritten For Multi-Core Processors? Threads have been part of Java since Day 1. Using threads complicates your code, but even with a single core processor, they can improve performance, particularly if you are doing something like combing multiple websites. The nice thing about Java is whether you are on a single core processor or a 256 CPU machine (We got to run our Athena Integer Java spreadsheet engine on such a beast), does not concern your code. You just have to make sure your threads don't interfere with each other, and Java/the OS, handle exploiting all the CPUs available. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Never discourage anyone... who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. ~ Plato 428 BC died: 348 BC at age: 80 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
