CPU-bound

Indeed, if you were running a process that was solely CPU-bound, who knows what scalability improvements could be achieved.

Accordingly, tight CPU-bound loops of interpreted code should execute at near-native speeds, since the native code is kept in the cache.

CPU-bound tasks are punished by having their priority increased by up to five levels.

Employing on-demand virtual servers is an increasingly popular solution for executing central processing unit (CPU) bound offline tasks.

Avoiding XML parsing at insert time can be a performance benefit, especially in CPU-bound systems.

Because searching is CPU-bound, you can achieve load balancing by introducing new servers that share the same index.

Moreover, it should be noted that not everything that runs slowly is CPU-bound.

A CPU-bound application can't get enough processor time to complete the work it's being asked to do.

Utilizing a pool of workers to execute multiple tasks in parallel is also beneficial for CPU-bound tasks.

For a CPU-bound workload such as this one, having more threads (or execution groups) than CPUs leads to diminishing returns.

Ensure that the CPU resources are adequate for distribution, which is typically CPU-bound.

CPU-bound means that the CPU is the bottleneck to getting the job done, so a faster CPU completes the action faster.

It is easy to write overly complex and error prone threaded code or code that only uses one core on a 24 core box, yet is still CPU bound.

In a system that is CPU-bound, all the processors are 100 percent busy and some jobs might be waiting for CPU time in the run queue.

Are they CPU-bound?

With that in mind - how do you implement CPU bound code that can make use of multiple cores in Ruby?
