Lua :: How to write simple program that will load multiple CPUs?

Question

I haven\'t been able to write a program in Lua that will load more than one CPU. Since Lua supports the concept via coroutines, I believe it\'s achievable.

Reason for me

Answer 1

In addition to already suggested LuaLanes, llthreads and other stuff mentioned here, there is a simpler way.

If you're on POSIX system, try doing it in old-fashioned way with posix.fork() (from luaposix). You know, split the task to batches, fork the same number of processes as the number of cores, crunch the numbers, collate results.

Also, make sure that you're using LuaJIT 2 to get the max speed.
