what are the differences between erlang process and pthread threads?hello, i'd like to find out about the differences between erlang processes and pthreads threads -- not in terms of the use of them but in what they actually are -- what the process and thread consists of -- how processes and threads differ and what those differences mean/amount to. i know an erlang process is much more economical (probably in both memory and cpu use) than a thread -- what is it that threads have and processes don't? stacks? each thread has a stack of it's own i think; do processes not? -- those are the kind of differences i'd like to find out about -- where can i read about this kind of thing? i notice there's a c project called "Protothreads: lightweight, stackless threads in C" ( http://www.sics.se/~adam/pt/index.html ) -- how similar to a process is one of these protothreads do you think (if you happen to know anything about protothreads)? any info on this would be great. thanks, ben.
