Node的单个实例运行在单个的线程中，要充分利用多核系统，我们可以运行Node进程集群来处理负载。

也就是说，如果系统有8核，单个Node实例只能使用其中1核，可以利用cluster包的workers概念来充分利用所有的核。有趣的是，它们可以共享同一个端口。

该模块还处于实验阶段。

var cluster = require('cluster');var http = require('http');var numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length; if (cluster.isMaster) {  // Fork workers.  require('os').cpus().forEach(function(){    cluster.fork();  });  // In case the worker dies!  cluster.on('exit', function(worker, code, signal) {    console.log('worker ' + worker.process.pid + ' died');  });  // As workers come up.  cluster.on('listening', function(worker, address) {    console.log("A worker with #"+worker.id+" is now connected to " +\     address.address +\    ":" + address.port);  });  // When the master gets a msg from the worker increment the request count.  var reqCount = 0;  Object.keys(cluster.workers).forEach(function(id) {    cluster.workers[id].on('message',function(msg){      if(msg.info && msg.info == 'ReqServMaster'){        reqCount += 1;      }    });  });  // Track the number of request served.  setInterval(function() {    console.log("Number of request served = ",reqCount);  }, 1000); } else {  // Workers can share the same port!  require('http').Server(function(req, res) {    res.writeHead(200);    res.end("Hello from Cluster!");    // Notify the master about the request.    process.send({ info : 'ReqServMaster' });  }).listen(8000);}

在一个4核的计算机上，输出如下：

Number of request served =  0A worker with #2 is now connected to 0.0.0.0:8000A worker with #4 is now connected to 0.0.0.0:8000A worker with #1 is now connected to 0.0.0.0:8000A worker with #3 is now connected to 0.0.0.0:8000Number of request served =  0...Number of request served =  2..Number of request served =  4...Number of request served =  6
