But unfortunately I had a problem with that, the Load Charts tab has a very high load, it suppose to show the load of other processes and the whole system, but instead of that it take all the load for it self painting the graphics, in my case I have an old pc, 512 GB of RAM and just one CPU Intel Celeron 2.7 GHz, Intel D915GL Board, Socket 775.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>In some messages from you that I just saw, you speak about running Erlang in very good machines, like 8 GB of RAM and stuffs like that, four CPU cores and so on. I was old programming in Erlang, I mean with a very set of old machines, and I was always happy with Erlang because of the performance it had and has. I had left Erlang for a while, now I’m back and I keep having my old pc, and now I tried some of the new apps that comes with the OTP, for example the ‘observer’ a very good tool actually, but I noticed that in the Load Charts tab it take the 100 % of my CPU and left none to any other processes. The Erlang console has its problems too with performance, printing things and that kind of stuffs that consoles does, that the oldest consoles had not, I observed that in this new release the console is more slower than for example the v5.7.5.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>So my point is, I know that the hardware revolution is now more than ever growing up, and every day we have double faster computers and in a few years we will don’t care about doing things so right because computers will support our laziness. So I think if we want to make the best CO programming language ever known for a concurrency world, we need to improve every chain’s link and always look back to the base and optimize there to. Maybe in the Load Charts of the observer application was used the accelerations advantages that the Direct X or OpenGL brings, maybe that’s why my old pc can not enjoy that, or maybe not, and was made just using lineal direct draw as I think because with new computers it was enough. Well my final point is that I can not use that part of the observer application in my pc Intel D915GL, Socket 775 with no graphic card. And so maybe the same can happen with others applications because we program using the new technologies and we forget about the real world that is having an Intel Pentium III 800 MHz, I already test Erlang, with the framework EVO having hundreds of message passing, two years ago and work very fine in real-time with only 256 GB of ram on a Pentium III. That’s why I love Erlang. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Best Regards, Ivan<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
