Simultaneous processes

[R3D3]

How can I create 2 different processes from ASP that will run concurrently?

I have 3 functions A, B and C, each of them taking 5 seconds.
Function C uses the results of Functions A and B
Functions A and B are completely independant of each other and their processing is performed on different machines so I should be able to improve the performance by about 30%

How can I start function B before I receive the result from Function A?

Functions A and B both call separate DLL's to perform the processing so it should be possible to run them simultaneously.
My problem then is how to wait for the results of the two responses before continuing with the processing.

Thanks.

you do not control processes and/or threads from ASP. It's a scripting engine and therefore controls it’s own threads etc. If you need that level of control you need to place that type of code where it belongs, in the DLL code.
