Actually Cluster may have more to do with Multiprocessor than you think.

This I know... :)

You can buy a 4 processor SMP or a 16 processor cluster at roughly the same cost. So start worrying. But the point is... It is not a good thing to use global variables (shared variables) for the locking problems(including the fine grained stuff that is in the slides) or bandwith reasons.

But my conclusion on the slides (that I can make out with in a few minutes)... That it is more pro-forking than pro-threading. Am I correct?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
