[mapserver-users] Does MS4W multi-thread?

[James Lindstorff]

AFAIK MS4W doesn't multi-thread - actually there is one proccess per
request. 

 

The good news is that being able to serve multiple request I parallel is
not a MapServer issue but an OS issue. So if you OS can detect multiple
cores it will execute processes I parallel on the different cores.
Therefore MapServer doesn't need to multi-thread for you to serve
multiple request I parallel.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Does MS4W multi-thread?

 

Hi all,

 

Will the mapserver CGI program multi-thread on an MS4W installation.  I
noticed many "mapserver.exe" image names in the task manager on my
server.  Assuming each image name corresponds with each request or
thread, will the OS delegate the processes to other CPU cores if
available?  I currently only have a single core Xeon, but am wondering
if a multi-core CPU could be beneficial with Apache and Mapserver
(MS4W).

 

Thanks
