#1151: Terminology for nodes, processes and cores is confusing -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
The file "doc/processterminology.rst" explains the concepts. In this file, I use "machine", "node", and "core" for hardware concepts, and "job", "process", and "thread" for execution concepts. I could not find a good replacement for "process", which is easily confused with "processor".
Renaming variables and/or options would be a good idea.
