Using Process-Level Parallelism

Using Process-Level Parallelism

Software products from Silicon Graphics, Inc. use process-level parallelism in order to exploit the power of single-memory multiprocessors. For example, the IRIS Performer graphics library normally creates a separate lightweight process to manage the graphics pipe in parallel with rendering work. The run-time library for statement-level parallelism creates a pool of lightweight processes and dispatches them to execute parts of loop code in parallel (see "Managing Parallel Execution").
