Concurrency/Multicore support?

(1/1)

Gautam:
Hi Pascellers (Pascellites? Pascellians?),

Does FPC provide any support for writing highly concurrent code? I don't care whether it is implemented in the traditional lock based model like in Java, or a message passing style like in Go/Erlang. I am just interested in being able to take advantage of multicore architectures for high performance gaming/scientific applications, and also in being able to use multithreaded to create more responsive UIs. Thanks!

There's an MPICH2 binding available for distributed computing, multithreading is supported at RTL and language level (for TLS), mutex/lock/critical section is available as well, both procedural and OOP version. This wiki article is a good tutorial.
