The Erlang process scheduler

[sseg]

Might answer these questions:

• what is an Erlang process?
• how does the runtime schedule processes?
• what are the strengths/weaknesses of this strategy?
• how does this affect garbage collection?
• what affect does this have on CPU- and I/O- bound workloads?
• how does it compare to other language platform schedulers? (preemptive or cooperative, e.g. golang, java, etc)
• what does this mean when programming in elixir?

Might you answer these yourself at an awesome presentation at the upcoming meetup? Or just something you would like to see discussed?

I meant just the latter. I wouldn't have time to do a full presentation of it for this month. I've only just started digging into it, and it's bigger than I anticipated (https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/erts/emulator/beam/erl_process.c).
