But what about multiple-processor concurrency? Aren't threads
necessary to scale programs to multi-core computers?
</i>
Processes are necessary to scale to multi-core computers, not
memory-sharing threads. The fundamentals of scalable systems are
fast networking and non-blocking design&mdash;the rest is message
passing. In future versions, Node will be able to fork new
processes (using the <a
href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-workers/current-work/"> Web
Workers API </a>) which fits well into the current design.
You can start new processes via <code>child_process.fork()</code>
these other processes will be scheduled in parallel.
