- <p>This MPM is experimental, so it may or may not work
- as expected.</p>
- </note>
-
- <p>This is an experimental variant of the standard
- <module>worker</module> MPM. It uses a Leader/Followers design pattern
- to coordinate work among threads. For more info, see <a
- href="http://deuce.doc.wustl.edu/doc/pspdfs/lf.pdf"
- >http://deuce.doc.wustl.edu/doc/pspdfs/lf.pdf</a>.</p>
-
- <p>To use the <module>leader</module> MPM, add
- <code>--with-mpm=leader</code> to the <code>configure</code> script's
- arguments when building the <code>httpd</code>.</p>
-
- <p>This MPM depends on APR's atomic compare-and-swap operations for
- thread synchronization. If you are compiling for an x86 target
- and you don't need to support 386s, or you are compiling for a
- SPARC and you don't need to run on pre-UltraSPARC chips, add
- <code>--enable-nonportable-atomics=yes</code> to the <code>configure</code>
- script's arguments. This will cause APR to implement atomic operations
- using efficient opcodes not available in older CPUs.</p>
