If you guys have some static windows build of all the tests and batch file to run it in one zip file, I can try to run it on our 16 cores machine (4CPU x 4cores or 2x4xHyperThreading) during low load times. If you interested of course... Regards, Andrey. On Sun, 10 Feb 2008 13:42:16 -0700, Howard Hinnant <hinnant@twcny.rr.com> wrote:

Adding yield() to try-and-back-off helps with some mutex implementations, and is effectively a no-op in others, so is worth adding.
I think that I would like to see how the algorithms scale to a number of cores equaling the number of philosophers before agreeing with that. As Phil notes, extra yields are not a problem if another thread can use the time to do something useful.
Hey, Peter has volunteered to buy a 16 core machine for us to experiment on! :-)
