Chromium Blog (49) permalink
In my last post, I wrote about how we handle I/O in the browser process to keep the main thread of Google Chrome free from hiccups. This time, I'll write about how we keep our sub-processes from interfering with the main ("browser") process.As you may recall, Google Chrome is a multi-process application, with HTML rendering happening in separate processes we call the "renderers," and plugins running in separate "plugin" processes.

It's so marginal."Salman Ullah spits the words from his black Aeron in the corner office that serves as the headquarters of Merus Capital. Sean Dempsey, who cofounded Merus last November with Ullah and another man, Peter Hsing, had just started telling Ullah about a pitch he'd recently ...
- Ionut said: In that garage, Sergey Brin and Larry Page built their empire on the basis of a simple and powerful idea that now seems obvious: Create a better search engine by taking into account not just a page's content but also its connectedness. The most popular pages would show up ahead of the lonelier pages in search results. This idea was so central to the Google experiment that its demo-stage name was "BackRub," as in, "You rub my site's back, I'll rub yours." It's this same basic idea that drives interest in the Google diaspora. Not only are Xooglers bright, entrepreneurial, and wealthy, but their links to one another and to Google endow them with a real-world ranking bonus--VC doors open wider; the press is more intrigued.
