Hi,=20 I'm relatively new to FreeBSD and have had a hard time get to the right = information relating multicore processing. I hope someone can give me = some pointers. I have a two core processor and FreeBSD (latest stable release). Question: If I have a c program that creates child processes with fork and exec = (in a non blocking way), will the child processes be executed by FreeBSD = in parallel using the different cores without me having to do special = synchronization arrangements to my program? Will I need threads instead of processes?=20 thanks Statement of Confidentiality: The information in this message is = privileged and confidential and it is intended only for the use of the = individual or entity named above.
