[erlang-questions] How does Erlang schedule process?

[Björn-Egil Dahlberg XB]

This thesis gives some background and orientation:
Characterizing the Scalability of Erlang VM on Many-core Processors 
(Jianrong Zhang)
http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:392243/FULLTEXT01.pdf
It's from 2011 so the information is not up to date on but should be 
good enough.

For details, look at
https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/erts/emulator/beam/erl_process.c#L9368-L9972 
and
in beam_emu.c.

Start with the thesis.
