- 01-scaling-across-cores
- Introduction
- ------------
- The general issue is how to insure that the resolver scales.
- Currently resolvers are CPU bound, and it seems likely that both
- instructions-per-cycle and CPU frequency will not increase radically,
- scaling will need to be across multiple cores.
- How can we best scale a recursive resolver across multiple cores?
- Some possible solutions:
- a. Multiple processes with independent caches
- b. Multiple processes with shared cache
- c. A mix of independent/shared cache
- d. Thread variations of the above
- All of these may be complicated by NUMA architectures (with
- faster/slower access to specific RAM).
