how many au3 scripts can run at same time on a pc

[zreo15]

well strangely i googled it out of curiosity and couldnt find the answer so decided to post a few ques not all related

1.how many au3 scripts can run at same time on a pc [[[[ i know more then one since i have used TCP servers n client scripts on same pc]]]]] 

case 1.1-- if all scripts are same 

xcase 1.2-- if all scripts are diferent

2.does the au3 compiler run multiple scripts like all at same time or one script running is pasued for a few milliseconds and then other is run or in sum othr way also in case two scripts are running at same time and they both are using clipboard for a task so will this create problem [[[ like incorrect data being sent ]]] for them or simply a error will occur saying they cant both use same function at a time

 

any chance for multi thread support in a way way way later future

​Answers:

1- as many as you want, there's only a limit of how much memory you have available, same answer for 1.1 and 1.2

2 - With a compiled script, there is no compiler running, it's just the script interpreter. There shouldn't be any collisions between your compiled scripts as far as what's accessing what other than if you're trying to write to the same file from more than one script at a time. They're independent of each other when you run them simultaneously.

3 - Never going to happen in AutoIt 3, no multi-threading.

1. As many as your computers memory and processor can handle.

2. No idea what you mean there. The compiler will pack the script and runtime module into an Executable...that's all.

This reminds me of an AI experiment someone did several years ago. I can't go into details about the experiment but it involved multiple AU3 scripts running simultaneously. The experiment pushed the machine to the limit and ended in BSOD, so I recommend caution. The number of scripts you can run also depends on how greedy they are with CPU (as Jos just said).

ohk got it and well autoit seems rather stable by now n ppl can do most of stuff they want with already available functions n UDF so is there some big development goin on for some new functions or just some more dLL UDF and COM support 

what about event call backs like they have in node.js it is also single threaded but there event callbacks can giv atlst a boost for ppl waiting for multi thread 

can sumthing like dat be implemented in future versions of autoit

Not sure what is up with the jivetalk in your post, but maybe you better first understand what is already possible before asking for functionality to be added.

Could you please be so kind and write in some kind of English people can understand? I do not have the time to rip out the Urban Dictionary for every second word

​sorry sorry texting habbit will take time going away 

well i meant autoitv3 seems to me has become pretty stable i dont know about technical aspects but with such a large UDF library & functions we can get most to anything done so i was wondering if some big developement for some more features to be added in v3 going on or just developement in field of dLL COM & UDF and bug removal only happening 

and since multi thread wont be a reality for this version of autoit what about implementing features that can provide an alternate to it though i know there already exists many but maybe can look towards the event callback function of node.js its also a single thread but two functions can be triggered at same time atleast though may not be that useful feature for many but atleast a small step in auV3 devlopement towards this field if not in this version but in next version it can implemented if even in that multi thread wont support

i was reading about node.js and read about it and thought it the event callback can be a nice implementation for times to avoid waiting for long calculations to yield results in scripts

and yup i just started learning autoit will try to learn more about how to do it in a way possible before posting feature requests

Here you can read what never will happen.

[SadBunny]

Well, at least you included the period in node.js. Surprising, really, given the rest of that garbled mess. Did you never learn to formulate actual sentences? You know, capitals, periods? Commas even? It makes your writings so much easier to read.

[argumentum]

most people asking for Multithreading would not know how to use it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(computing)#Multithreading
this ​is a good read.

[zreo15]

im not a native english speaker so it happens rarely that i have to write long sentences therefore all the period using habbits have vanished....

well i get it after reading the link multithreading is a huge deal and basic programers like myself wont able to do much even if that functionality was added and adding them is even bigger deal so better to forget about it ......but if you want to avoid these kind of questions make that wiki link about 'what will never happen' a STICKY please you never get a refrence to that link when you google multithreading in autoit 

and what about my other ques anyone knows if there is some huge or different feature coming for auV3 in near future or only dLL developement for now ( just curious ) 

and that event callback i guess it also requires major changes to implement so not possible but its concept of non blocking calls any possible way to implement it with the resources already available (( any thoughts on it people ))

zreo15,

anyone knows if there is some huge or different feature coming for auV3 in near future

Only Jon knows what will happen - but please do not PM him to ask.  Take a look at the bug and feature request list to realise that he already has more then enough on his plate.

concept of non blocking calls any possible way to implement it with the resources already available

Look at Volatile in the Beta release - but note the big warning header.
