ASDen Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 (sorry for splitting but some un detected problem limiting post length ) 3. making real usage of the server processor 4. benefiting real threading abilities in Apache 2/IIS ?

tommyboy123x Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I did read it i just couldn't comprehend it... i guess the problem is i dont know what a thread is (a process?) but from what i can see its a great script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sspoke Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 @ tommy threading makes the job get done faster.. lets say your program in C++ runs of 1 thread and its running a counter from 0 - 1 million.. and if you run 2 threads both with counters running from 0 - 1 million you would get 2 counters.. both running at very high numbers without taking too much CPU memory. Threading splits your process into 2 or more processes and runs em all.. at once. it really gets the job done faster by a massive amount of time. Good example would be Windows 95 it ran without threads.. you can try Windows 95 on your new computer with 3.2ghz 2 GB ram.. it would take ages to load up.. new programs if you have old ones running already.

ASDen Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Well what sspoke is a simple efficient way of describing it and is exactly what i mean it makes use of given resources instead of wasting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azu Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 what is a thread... i keep thinking Vbulletin. lol I don't think he means thread as in forum topic. I think he means threads as in it's one application, but has multiple things being processed at the same time, as if it's two or more separate applications. And if your processor has more then 1 core, or supports hyper threading, this can make the application run faster I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 A thread is a partly isolated part of a process that can run independently from other threads, yet share some of the same resources. For a familiar example, think of PHP installed as an Apache module as opposed to as a CGI binary... When installed as a CGI binary, a new PHP process is created for every request (php-cgi.exe is executed), so in effect you're starting the PHP engine over and over again. When installed as an Apache module, a process is started together with that of the server, and new threads are made (or possibly pooled) for new requests. This has the benefit of sharing in-memory resources, as well as saving initializing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into this more and report back to the team. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 It should be noted that the new FastCGI interface is a lot faster, and the before mentioned doesn't apply anymore to FCGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
