Here is a break down from February of the different options for dealing with threading (and therefor Multi-cores):

I see since then (or could have been before, I don't see a date) Lukas and co. have written a paper about adding STM to Squeak.

This is not my area but I imagine that somehow Squeak processes should map to OS native threads paralellizable by each of the cores. Any chance to Exupery be of some help on that? I ask because if it is then is a must for that future.

How is squeak going to handle multy-core CPUs, if at all? If we see cores of 100 plus in the future and squeak stay as it is, I would imagine other languages such as erlang, will look more attractive. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Multy-core-CPUs-tf4639074.html#a13249733 Sent from the Squeak - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
