[erlang-questions] Message passing via shared memory

[Hynek Vychodil]

I agree with you. I would like mentioned also GC issues which appear even in
one core. Current Erlang GC blocks only one process each time and provide
soft realtime behavior of Erlang system. IMHO for example SBCL
Lisp/Hunchentoot problems at Chart-6 in this blog
http://berlinbrowndev.blogspot.com/2008/08/application-server-benchmarks-including.htmlcomes
from global GC. See Erlang response time deviation in first table for
comparison. If share memory between proceses soft realtime characteristic of
GC will gone and/or GC complexity will rise.
