[erlang-questions] one run-queue per scheduler??

[Björn-Egil Dahlberg]

Hi Max,

Wouldn't we all want that info handy? =)

Best bet for info about the runtime system and VM are the HiPE papers,

See Kostis papers: http://user.it.uu.se/~kostis/Papers/

I couldn't find Erik Stenmans (Happi) papers http://user.it.uu.se/~happi/
Some of them had a really good overview if I remember correctly.

Also Jianrong Zhangs paper "Characterizing the Scalability of Erlang VM on
Many-Core Processors" has a good overview of some of the internals. (You
have to google for the link to the pdf. KTH paper)

Jianrong Zhangs paper is newer then the HiPE papers and probably has more
current information.

Some information are hidden in the *draft* of the erlang spec,
see http://www.erlang.org/doc.html

I recommend checking out Rickard Greens and Patrik Nyblom talks at various
EUC, Factories and SICS Multicore Days to find the bleeding edge info =)

Happy hunting,
Björn-Egil
