Here's the kicker:

"With a little work, the previous code can be modified to utilize all of
the available cores on a machine. In the following example, the HTTP server
is refactored using the cluster module. cluster allows you to easily create
a network of processes which can share ports. In this example, a separate
process is spawned for each system core, as defined by the numCPUs
variable. Each of the child processes then implements the HTTP server, by
listening on the shared port."

He's talking about deliberate delegation of IBM i jobs (aka processes) so
multiple Javascript statements can be run in true parallel, which is not
possible with a single process. But this doesn't address the C threads
where Node.js APIs deliberately offload known I/O blocking to C threads.
When Node.js does that offloading there is in fact multiple cores being
used that originated from a single Node.js process (again, as I understand
it).

Thoughts?

Are you sure this is correct and do you have a source for your
information
that we can review? Yes, Node.js runs as a single thread, but the
underlying C architecture of Node.js uses threads for blocking I/O
calls
(i.e. file system, networking, etc). So that means, as I understand
it,
that a single Node.js server could make use of many cores because of
the
underlying C threads.

This is not IBM Power specific, it is the same on all hw platforms.

Nathan,

That's correct. I think my concerns have pretty well addressed in
people's
responses. I probably want to use a combination of strategies for
setting
up routes. For example:

* use a web server as a reverse proxy that routes to node apps
running
on
their own ports,

* use something like vhost or http-node-proxy within a node app
that
routes to other node apps running on their own ports,

* use something like the ExpressJS router within a node app that
routes
to
modules or sub-apps that run within the same port.

* use something like the ExpressJS router within a node app that
routes
to
different pages of the app.

I don't need to worry so much about the number of ports used by
node
apps.
I didn't hear that any of the routing strategies above would be
better
or
worse when it comes to setting up a production environment for
fail-over
and load balancing--especially if I use a web server as a reverse
proxy.
And I didn't hear that any of the routing strategies above would be
better
or worse for scaling up node apps (e.g., clustering).

I am sure Kelly is talking about the top level routing to the app
and
how to handle that as opposed to the question of internal routing
to
"screens"
within the app.


Kelly is asking about a mix of both types of routing - External
routing
within a reverse-proxy / load-balancer as well as internal routing
within
Node's own HTTP service.

How would one configure both so that a broadly-scoped system
performs
well, scales well, you don't introduce too many HTTP restarts?
