Hi Nathan,

Yes, in this day and age we are no longer concerned with whether the program is in memory or not -- the OS handles that. But the main difference between SRT and MRT is whether the program has to maintain information about the requester's process -- an SRT program does not, an MRT program does.

The web programs I see would be like an SRT program because they would get all necessary data from the browser to handle a request -- they would not rely on data stored in the program's working memory. Having the web program store any info about a requester seems an unlikely proposition given that it could be handling thousands if not millions of requesters.

That's odd. Most CGI, J2EE, and PHP programs remain in memory once initiated, and a single instance of the program handles requests from multiple concurrent browsers, which seems to fit your description of the MRT model.

Nathan.
