Threading Support
[Nebula Kernel]
Detailed Description
Nebula provides basic support for threading along with integration into some of the Core Nebula systems.The support Nebula2 provides for threading is wrapper classes for multithreading.
The way Nebula2 supports threading for each platform are:
- Windows : win32 threading routines
- Linux : POSIX threads
Nebula2 uses threading only when it is needed. It is used for these tasks at this moment:
- blocking socket routines
- background loading of resources
Threading is likely to become more important in the future as the use multi-core CPU increases.
