[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47843] fork implementation on native windows

[Olaf Till]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #47843 (project octave):

JWE: Explicit (as opposed to built-in usage of threads) local parallelism with
parcellfun (parallel package) is m-code and uses Octaves fork() (and pipe()).

This also affects servers in parallel computing in clusters with the parallel
package, since parcellfun is used as a second level parallelism by some
functions for cluster computations.

I'd rather like to see cluster computing using GNU/Linux servers. But explicit
local parallel computing should probably work on Windows.
