Preemptive Threads Explained

The latest release of Xojo, version 2024r3, introduces a significant improvement in multithreading capabilities. This update allows developers to use Thread class instances in preemptive mode, enabling full utilization of all available processor cores for parallel task execution. This tutorial demonstrates how this new feature works and compares its performance to the previously available cooperative threading mode. We'll explore the extent to which this preemptive mode enhances processing times, offering developers a more efficient way to handle complex, multi-threaded tasks.

I have always appreciated xojo's implementation of threading among other things. It does not over complicate the required code. Is there a way to have core affinity for related processes?

That is great to hear! You cannot currently bind a thread to a specific core. But you can add a feature request to Issues so we can look into it!
