Hello all<br><br>I need a bit of advice. I have a transaction based system that spawns a<br>thread to handle every incoming transaction. Unfortunately there is<br>quite a large chunk of relatively static configuration information that<br>is needed by every thread.<br>With relatively static I mean that it is changeable through user<br>intervention at any time.<br><br>The question is, how do I get this information to every thread without<br>signifficantly slowing things down or using up all the available memory?<br><br>I am not sure, but I suspect passing it as a parameter will cause<br>thousands of copies to be made. Is this correct?<br>I was thinking of making a globally registered ets table, but this will<br>cause copies to be made again once it is read from the table.<br>The last option might be to declare all the information in a hrl file,<br>but then changing the configuration would require recompilation.<br>As I understand, using a binary formated chunk of data will prevent<br>copying, but when converting back to a more usable format the data will<br>be copied again.<br><br>Any other ways of getting large chunks of configuration data quickly to<br>a large number of transient threads?<br><br>Help and advice appreciated.<br><br>-]-[einrich Venter<br>
