Threads allow a single process to utilize multiple cores. Erlang takes advantage of them to run its schedulers.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 20:16 joe mcguckin <<a href="mailto:joe@via.net">joe@via.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
