On the bright side, this particular issue has something to do with performance optimization, not with the portability, although I admit it may influence the very ability to operate under given conditions. Yes, this is how I'd implement it, and I guess I don't even have to reinvent the wheel - the concepts of HAL (aka Hardware Abstraction Layer), microkernel etc. existed for a long time. And again, in this particular case, the many/one is hopeless, one/one may be casted into many/many with approximately the same mechanism as many/many uses at the kernel level. So the resulting performance degradation wouldn't be so bad. Or, just get the right OS from the very start, but that's religious. > Chris Gray cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA -- Still alive and smile stays on, Vadim Tkachenko <vt#freehold,crocodile.org> -- UNIX _is_ user friendly, he's just very picky about who his friends are </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00227" HREF="msg00227.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Chris Gray <cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00234.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00236.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Job offer for multiplayer game development</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00227.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00219.html">[MUD-Dev] [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00235"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00235"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00224" HREF="msg00224.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vt#freehold,crocodile.org">vt#freehold,crocodile.org</a>, Wed 15 Jul 1998, 06:59 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00641" HREF="msg00641.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Tue 11 Aug 1998, 01:59 GMT </LI> </ul> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00232" HREF="msg00232.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Wed 15 Jul 1998, 18:44 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00227" HREF="msg00227.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Wed 15 Jul 1998, 14:19 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00235" HREF="msg00235.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vt#freehold,crocodile.org">vt#freehold,crocodile.org</a>, Thu 16 Jul 1998, 04:40 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00219" HREF="msg00219.html">[MUD-Dev] [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vt#freehold,crocodile.org">vt#freehold,crocodile.org</a>, Wed 15 Jul 1998, 03:02 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00231" HREF="msg00231.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Wed 15 Jul 1998, 18:43 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00234" HREF="msg00234.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vt#freehold,crocodile.org">vt#freehold,crocodile.org</a>, Thu 16 Jul 1998, 04:17 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00233" HREF="msg00233.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: [Java] multithreading: update and a question</A></strong>, Nathan F Yospe <a href="mailto:yospe#hawaii,edu">yospe#hawaii,edu</a>, Thu 16 Jul 1998, 01:53 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
