Support for threads and parallelism (Score:1)

by ponder (3093) on 2002.05.03 9:34 (#7945) Journal

I know that Perl 5 has had a chequered history with embracing the subject of threads. What of the Parrot? In particular, this could be important to the future take-up, as Parrot aims to be a common bytecode for several languages including Java.
Also, can Parrot be run in a multi-CPU environment (SMP), and is there provision for instruction interlocks or spinlocks across the configuration?
