|
<para>The event loop design is targeted on running a separate
|
|
instance of the event loop in each thread; it has no concept of
|
|
distributing events from a single event loop instance onto
|
|
multiple worker threads. Dispatching events is strictly ordered
|
|
and subject to configurable priorities. In each event loop
|
|
iteration a single event source is dispatched. Each time an event
|
|
source is dispatched the kernel is polled for new events, before
|
|
the next event source is dispatched. The event loop is designed to
|
|
honor priorities and provide fairness within each priority. It is
|
|
not designed to provide optimal throughput, as this contradicts
|
|
these goals due the limitations of the underlying <citerefentry
|
|
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
primitives.</para>
