Re: Cannot specify the number of threads for parsort

It looks like we may not get what we kindly asked for. So, I started making "mcesort" using Perl MCE's chunking engine.

Can you elaborate on what I am missing from the picture?

Ole,

Perhaps your workloads are more CPU and I/O intensive, and latency is less of a priority.
If the workload is memory-intensive, that can be the more important constraint than
the number of available cores.  If the workload is interactive (latency-sensitive) it's
undesirable to have too many jobs in flight competing for CPU and I/O, delaying each other.
