NodeJS is single processed meaning that any single line of executing code can block other lines of code from executing, with the exception of IO & some other code.

This module takes advantage of POSIX’s fork() to launch child processes to handle each individual task in a separate process, this means that any CPU intensive or blocking code can run in its own process.
