Description

When I open a number of time consuming modules in DrRacket and run the first one, switch to the next tab and run that one too and so on, only one processor is used. Would it be possible to run the modules parallelly on as many processors as available?
Thanks, Jos

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening several time-consuming modules in DrRacket, running them from separate tabs, and observing processor use. Trace the module execution entry point and determine the required concurrency behavior; done means independent module runs can proceed in parallel across available processors without preventing normal tab interaction.
