Julien,
 
What exactly are you doing in the Tcl interps?  The threaded alloc built into
Tcl is designed to remove lock contention, and I have benchmarks that confirm
it does that.  However, if you are consistently passing data between the
interps, locking will still occur.

Subject: [Tcl-Threads] Embeded tcl interpreters in multithread C++ application



Hi all. 

I have a multithreaded c++ application with 1 TCL interpreter per thread. 
This works, but when I'm monitoring CPUs usage, I see that my 4 CPU are used
at 25% as if threads are working only one a a time. CPU usage should be 100%
for each CPU as it is the case when I've got no embeded TCL interpreter in my
thread.

What is the problem? I suspect embeded TCL interperter in my threads to use
shared TCL ressources and to block the others when using it. How can I prevent
that (each interpreter has its own ressources)?

Best regards, 

Julien Delacroix 

PS : I tried to compile tcl with and without thrdalloc but nothing changes...
