Support for parallel processing

Hi there,

I would like to see support for parallel processing for users that have systems with multiple processors.

Check http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issue ... fault.aspx for some info on this.

Kind regards,

Francis

Multicore processors will soon be ubiquitous, so built-in support for parallel processing would indeed be nice. For now, though, if you want to use PB and take advantage of multiple cores you'll have to roll your own solution using threads.

I do use my own routines for multi-threaded calculations, but they are not all that pretty and I've had crashes on single processor systems (don't know why).

An easier way of doing it would be nice.

Kind regards,

Francis.

Second that, I have dual cores in all my computers, would be idea to have built in support.

Agree, only the very low-end computers selling today are single-core.
