Perlbal on Multiple Processors
|
|
|
| Hey everyone,
We currently plan to use Perlbal as our front end load balancer and
reverse proxy, making use of the fantastic reproxy functionality. The home
page states, "Perlbal is a single-threaded event-based server"... what
does this imply for Perlbal running on a multi-processor machine? Does
Perlbal only utilize one of the processors? Is it a waste to run it on
dual proc, or is there a way to optimize it? Any help with these questions
would be very much appreciated.

In LJ we run dual-processor machines, so we run two copies of Perlbal on
each physical machine, in order to take advantage of the two processors.
