hello 
I hope you can help me with my problem.
Everywhere I read about how well erlang performs with his "lightweight processes", which are in fact user-level-threads/fibers, if I got it right.
How does this work with multiple cores?
I mean, the OS doesn't know about those multiple processes, because they're running in one thread, so it's not able to distribute them across the multiple cores available.
Doesn't Erlang need at least as much threads as cores should be used? And how does it manage the distribution of the processes between the threads?
If anyone has a nice paper about this or something else, I would be very thankful |
