I have some code to programmatically detect platform specific
information
such as how many CPUs are available on a machine. This beats forcing
the
admin to enter the information. The code is modular, allowing for new
platforms to be added at any time.
I use it to determine how many threads I should have in a ThreadPool. I
make it a multiple of the number of processors. Granted, for some
operating
systems, they only support one processor (like Win 9x/ME). If there is
no adapter for a system, then it assumes there is only one processor.
Does this sound like something we want to support in Commons Lang?
"They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety."
