<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hi Anoop,</div><div><br></div><div>Erlang has its own VM, so all those processes are very lightweight compared to OS processes. </div><div><br></div><div>The basic unit of computation in Erlang is a process with its own memory space and you can only communicate with a process by sending it a message. </div>
<div><br></div><div>This set-up is necessary if you want to build a fault tolerant system - the last ingredience is the ability to link and monitor processes. Two linked processes will die if either of them dies. A monitor will be notified if the process it monitors die. </div>
<div><br></div><div>These simple mechanisms is what allows Erlang to work so well. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this clarifies things a bit for you. </div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Torben<br><br></div></div>
