今年秋天我将参加一个分布式系统课程，因为Scala演员对这个领域的渲染非常有用，所以我刚开始学习Scala。从我到目前为止所读到的关于“Scala中的演员”一词的Actors我有一个问题似乎没有在文中非常明确地解决。
我目前正在使用多核处理器的单台机器上建模我的程序，并在Master-Workers模型中使用基于事件的actor。现在，以下两个设计选择中哪一个会导致所有处理器内核得到最佳使用？
1）将演员的数量限制为一个小的固定数字，不论主演员拥有的作业数量，都可以分发给工人演员（顺便提一下，这可能会相当大）
2）产生与主要演员需要完成的工作数量一样多的演员
哪些因素会影响我对上述两种选择的决定？
更新：我打印出我正在运行的100名工人演员的线程ID，这是输出 -

如上所示，ForkJoinPool中有四个工作线程，而我的机器上有两个cpu内核。我不确定为什么会这样，因为快速浏览一下ResizableThreadPoolScheduler的来源让我相信最初池中的工作线程数等于cpu核心数，并且如果有任何一个actor，它们会动态增加被阻塞在池中的一个工作线程上。我使用的所有actor都是基于事件的（反应）并且不执行任何阻塞操作。一个理想的场景是在ForkJoinPool中只有2个线程，并让它们在执行每个actor的工作的两个核心上并行运行。我的理解是正确的，还是我在这里遗漏了什么？
答案 0 :(得分：4)
你听起来像是在考虑演员，好像他们是线程一样。拥有演员系统的部分目的是将你的问题与演员本身分开。演员创作起来很便宜，所以有几千名演员都可以。成千上万的演员并不意味着他们每个人都试图同时奔跑。
Scheduler管理如何执行actor请求。默认情况下，您将获得ForkJoinScheduler或（在特殊JVM上） ResizableThreadPoolScheduler
在两种情况下，并行任务的数量均由ThreadPoolConfig控制，默认为max(2*cores,4)。在本课程中，您还可以了解如何通过系统属性覆盖这些默认值：
actors.enableForkJoin允许您控制调度程序的选择actors.corePoolSize设置初始“线程”池大小actors.maxPoolSize设置最大尺寸请注意，研究Akka演员可能是一个更好的主意，因为他们可能会在某些时候replace the original Scala actor implementation，提供更多功能并加强对演员模型的更清晰的遵守（因为你只得到{{1并且不能再直接调用你的actor上的方法了）。在Akka中，调度程序的等价物是dispatchers。
