process-pool-new-count

Arguments: process-pool

The default method for this process-pool accessor returns the value of the new-count slot of the argument process-pool instance.

The new-count slot holds the number of times a new process was created. When process-pool-run is called, after perhaps waiting in the work-item queue either (1) an existing idle process is used to run the associated work-item or (2) a new process is created to do so. Whenever (2) occurs (a new process is created), the value returned by (the default method of) this generic function is increased by 1. The value also includes all processes which were primed processes created when the process pool was created. See also process-pool-reused-count.

See Process pools in multiprocessing.htm for more information on process pools.
