I pushed a copy of this work to the "green_threads" branch at parrot/parrot on github. I'm running some tests now and it appears stable. I would really appreciate some additional testing on the current version, as well as timings. With recent fixes it should have performance similar to master for all single-task workloads.
I would also like to get some improved test coverage, but since this is an experimental feature I don't think super-duper coverage is a requirement at this point for a merge, especially if we start getting feedback that some parts of the interface or behavior need to be changed to suit needs of Rakudo et al. I'm planning to try and pursue a merge shortly after the release, if no major problems are identified beforehand. --Andrew Whitworth On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 6:53 PM, James E Keenan <[email protected]> wrote: > On 10/11/11 2:29 PM, Stefan Seifert wrote: >> >> Dear parrot developers, >> >> during the past two months I've been working on bringing the gsoc_threads >> branch up to date and into a usable shape. > > Thanks for picking up this long dormant branch! > >> Attached is a little test program demonstrating task switching. > > Would it make sense to add this program to the test suite? > > jimk > > _______________________________________________ > http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev > _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
