= forkify * http://github.com/dakrone/forkify == DESCRIPTION: forkify.rb makes it easy to process a bunch of data using 'n' worker processes. It is based off of forkoff and threadify by Ara Howard. It aims to be safe to use on Ruby 1.8.6+ and Ruby 1.9.1+ == FEATURES/PROBLEMS: * forkify is _extremely_ beta quality currently. * NOTE: Hash forkifing returns a 2-dimensional array. * Spawn processes easily! * Pool forking requires ruby 1.9.1 == SYNOPSIS: Simple usage: enumerable = %w( a b c d ) enumerable.forkify(2) { 'process this block using two worker processes' } enumerable.forkify { 'process this block using the default of 5 processes' } Forkify also supports pool forking (instead of forking serially) enumerable.forkify(:method => :pool, :procs => 3) { |x| puts x; } See http://writequit.org/blog/?p=315 for more details about pool forking. == REQUIREMENTS: * Testy - only for running the tests == INSTALL: * sudo gem install forkify == LICENSE: (The MIT License) Copyright (c) 2009 Lee Hinman Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the 'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
