Re: CLWS - Work-stealing scheduler for LispWorks

Pascal:

So you know, there is something called CLWS which stands for "Common
Lisp Web Sockets": http://www.cliki.net/clws

I just wanted to bring that to your attention in the event you wanted
to have a more unique name.

Cheers,

Robert

However, it is also harder to use - you basically have to convert your program into continuation-passing style - and in our experience, you don’t get much better performance out of this in practice. CLWS is much easier to use because you can code in direct style. If you are interested in the Cilk-like version anyway, please let us know.
