how to hold lists

[Yani Dzhurov]

Hi guys,

 

I need to have some kind of global variables where to hold a couple of
lists. Also need them to process them pretty often by thousand of processes.

How would it better and faster to hold them:

-as macros 

-define(LIST1, [a,b,c,...]).

 

or have a function which returns it

 

get_list1()-> [a,b,c,..].

 

I have about 5-6 lists with about 50 atoms each.

Is there any better approach? 

 

10x, 

 

yani
