I'm working in Java2SE group (runtime) in Sun now :) It usese 1:1 threads because primary platform for Java2SE is Solaris, and threading on Solaris is very good (almost perfect). It is cheaper to have 1:1 threads on Solaris (and on Win32, too, BTW), than have additional layer of custom scheduler in JVM. JVM has many thing to do, and it prefer to use system scheduler. N:M/1:1 change on Solaris is mostly Solaris change, not Java one: Java uses system default threading. -- Best regards, Lev mailto:lev_at_FreeBSD.orgReceived on Mon Oct 30 2006 - 06:00:19 UTC
