With thanks, tate Hello Yariv

There is a good article on Wikipedia. In a nutshell, the idea is that usually switching threads involves doing some system calls at some points, which is fairly time consuming (relatively speaking... we are talking about not even a 10th of a second here). When you start having quite a high number of threads, you start realizing that the OS spends a fair amount of time simply scheduling threads. Now, the idea behind green threads is to simulate os level threads without having to rely on heavy system calls. That's exactly what the erlang VM does, in a very efficient way. There is a lot more to it (books have been written about this topic !). I hope this points you into the right direction. Didier Wineshtain,

Most bothering one would be, why are Erlang processes more light weight then OS's ones? Hopefully you could shed some light on the topic. With thanks, Wineshtain Hello Yariv,

We just added the next post in the series. http://slideaware.typepad.com/slideaware/2007/05/in_the_last_pos.html Vijay Hi Yariv,
