I have to disagree that fork is evil. fork is great because of copy-on-write. I guess my particular use case is not very typical/common though. I'm running powerflow simulations on a power grid model (several GB of memory to store the model). Copy-on-write means I can make small modifications to this model and run simulations in parallel. Thanks to fork/copy-on-write, I can run 32 simulations in parallel, each will small modifications without requiring 32 times as much memory. |
