Re: Yahoo talk about the software revolution that is JavaScript said by Matt:Call me when JS is multi-threaded.  As of now, JS is completely incapable of taking advantage of multiple CPU cores and most AJAX apps will peg a single CPU core ... easily. I am pretty sure that is one of the very things Crockford plans on addressing--properly using an event queue in a single threaded system rather than needing multiple threads.

I am pretty sure that is one of the very things Crockford plans on addressing--properly using an event queue in a single threaded system rather than needing multiple threads. A single queue is worthless for certain types of AJAX apps, like »www.alphatheory.com/, that need raw processing power. Calculations need to be done concurrently, not serially. Unless I'm misunderstanding the way an event queue in a single threaded system operates? |
