<pre class="api_stability_1">Stability: 1 - Experimental</pre><p>A single instance of Node runs in a single thread. To take advantage of
multi-core systems the user will sometimes want to launch a cluster of Node
processes to handle the load.

</p>
<p>The cluster module allows you to easily create child processes that
all share server ports.

</p>
<pre><code>var cluster = require(&#39;cluster&#39;);
var http = require(&#39;http&#39;);
var numCPUs = require(&#39;os&#39;).cpus().length;

if (cluster.isMaster) {
  // Fork workers.
  for (var i = 0; i &lt; numCPUs; i++) {
    cluster.fork();
  }

  cluster.on(&#39;exit&#39;, function(worker, code, signal) {
    console.log(&#39;worker &#39; + worker.process.pid + &#39; died&#39;);
  });
} else {
  // Workers can share any TCP connection
  // In this case its a HTTP server
  http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200);
    res.end(&quot;hello world\n&quot;);
  }).listen(8000);
}</code></pre>
<p>Running node will now share port 8000 between the workers:

</p>
<pre><code>% NODE_DEBUG=cluster node server.js
23521,Master Worker 23524 online
23521,Master Worker 23526 online
23521,Master Worker 23523 online
23521,Master Worker 23528 online</code></pre>
<p>This feature was introduced recently, and may change in future versions.
Please try it out and provide feedback.

</p>
<p>Also note that, on Windows, it is not yet possible to set up a named pipe
server in a worker.

</p>
<h2>How It Works<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_how_it_works" id="cluster_how_it_works">#</a></span></h2>
<!--type=misc-->

<p>The worker processes are spawned using the <code>child_process.fork</code> method,
so that they can communicate with the parent via IPC and pass server
handles back and forth.

</p>
<p>When you call <code>server.listen(...)</code> in a worker, it serializes the
arguments and passes the request to the master process.  If the master
process already has a listening server matching the worker&#39;s
requirements, then it passes the handle to the worker.  If it does not
already have a listening server matching that requirement, then it will
create one, and pass the handle to the worker.

</p>
<p>This causes potentially surprising behavior in three edge cases:

</p>
<ol>
<li><code>server.listen({fd: 7})</code> Because the message is passed to the master,
file descriptor 7 <strong>in the parent</strong> will be listened on, and the
handle passed to the worker, rather than listening to the worker&#39;s
idea of what the number 7 file descriptor references.</li>
<li><code>server.listen(handle)</code> Listening on handles explicitly will cause
the worker to use the supplied handle, rather than talk to the master
process.  If the worker already has the handle, then it&#39;s presumed
that you know what you are doing.</li>
<li><code>server.listen(0)</code> Normally, this will cause servers to listen on a
random port.  However, in a cluster, each worker will receive the
same &quot;random&quot; port each time they do <code>listen(0)</code>.  In essence, the
port is random the first time, but predictable thereafter.  If you
want to listen on a unique port, generate a port number based on the
cluster worker ID.</li>
</ol>
<p>When multiple processes are all <code>accept()</code>ing on the same underlying
resource, the operating system load-balances across them very
efficiently.  There is no routing logic in Node.js, or in your program,
and no shared state between the workers.  Therefore, it is important to
design your program such that it does not rely too heavily on in-memory
data objects for things like sessions and login.

</p>
<p>Because workers are all separate processes, they can be killed or
re-spawned depending on your program&#39;s needs, without affecting other
workers.  As long as there are some workers still alive, the server will
continue to accept connections.  Node does not automatically manage the
number of workers for you, however.  It is your responsibility to manage
the worker pool for your application&#39;s needs.

<div class="signature"><ul>
<li><code>worker</code> <span class="type">Worker object</span></li>
</div></ul>
<p>When a new worker is forked the cluster module will emit a &#39;fork&#39; event.
This can be used to log worker activity, and create your own timeout.

</p>
<pre><code>var timeouts = [];
function errorMsg() {
  console.error(&quot;Something must be wrong with the connection ...&quot;);
}

cluster.on(&#39;fork&#39;, function(worker) {
  timeouts[worker.id] = setTimeout(errorMsg, 2000);
});
cluster.on(&#39;listening&#39;, function(worker, address) {

<div class="signature"><ul>
<li><code>worker</code> <span class="type">Worker object</span></li>
</div></ul>
<p>After forking a new worker, the worker should respond with an online message.
When the master receives an online message it will emit this event.
The difference between &#39;fork&#39; and &#39;online&#39; is that fork is emitted when the
master forks a worker, and &#39;online&#39; is emitted when the worker is running.

</p>
<pre><code>cluster.on(&#39;online&#39;, function(worker) {
  console.log(&quot;Yay, the worker responded after it was forked&quot;);
});</code></pre>
<h2>Event: &#39;listening&#39;<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_event_listening" id="cluster_event_listening">#</a></span></h2>
<div class="signature"><ul>
<li><code>worker</code> <span class="type">Worker object</span></li>
<li><code>address</code> <span class="type">Object</span></li>
</div></ul>
<p>After calling <code>listen()</code> from a worker, when the &#39;listening&#39; event is emitted on
the server, a listening event will also be emitted on <code>cluster</code> in the master.

</p>
<p>The event handler is executed with two arguments, the <code>worker</code> contains the worker
object and the <code>address</code> object contains the following connection properties:
<code>address</code>, <code>port</code> and <code>addressType</code>. This is very useful if the worker is listening
on more than one address.

</p>
<pre><code>cluster.on(&#39;listening&#39;, function(worker, address) {
  console.log(&quot;A worker is now connected to &quot; + address.address + &quot;:&quot; + address.port);
});</code></pre>
<p>The <code>addressType</code> is one of:

</p>
<ul>
<li><code>4</code> (TCPv4)</li>
<li><code>6</code> (TCPv6)</li>
<li><code>-1</code> (unix domain socket)</li>
<li><code>&quot;udp4&quot;</code> or <code>&quot;udp6&quot;</code> (UDP v4 or v6)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Event: &#39;disconnect&#39;<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_event_disconnect" id="cluster_event_disconnect">#</a></span></h2>
<div class="signature"><ul>
<li><code>worker</code> <span class="type">Worker object</span></li>
</div></ul>
<p>Emitted after the worker IPC channel has disconnected. This can occur when a
worker exits gracefully, is killed, or is disconnected manually (such as with
worker.disconnect()).

</p>
<p>There may be a delay between the <code>disconnect</code> and <code>exit</code> events.  These events
can be used to detect if the process is stuck in a cleanup or if there are
long-living connections.

</p>
<pre><code>cluster.on(&#39;disconnect&#39;, function(worker) {
  console.log(&#39;The worker #&#39; + worker.id + &#39; has disconnected&#39;);
});</code></pre>

<li><code>signal</code> <span class="type">String</span> the name of the signal (eg. <code>&#39;SIGHUP&#39;</code>) that caused
the process to be killed.</li>
</div></ul>
<p>When any of the workers die the cluster module will emit the &#39;exit&#39; event.

</p>
<p>This can be used to restart the worker by calling <code>.fork()</code> again.

</p>
<pre><code>cluster.on(&#39;exit&#39;, function(worker, code, signal) {
  console.log(&#39;worker %d died (%s). restarting...&#39;,
    worker.process.pid, signal || code);
  cluster.fork();

</p>
<h2>Event: &#39;setup&#39;<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_event_setup" id="cluster_event_setup">#</a></span></h2>

</div></ul>
<p><code>setupMaster</code> is used to change the default &#39;fork&#39; behavior. Once called,
the settings will be present in <code>cluster.settings</code>.

</p>
<p>Note that:

</p>
<ul>
<li>Only the first call to <code>.setupMaster()</code> has any effect, subsequent calls are
ignored</li>
<li>That because of the above, the <em>only</em> attribute of a worker that may be
customized per-worker is the <code>env</code> passed to <code>.fork()</code></li>
<li><code>.fork()</code> calls <code>.setupMaster()</code> internally to establish the defaults, so to
have any effect, <code>.setupMaster()</code> must be called <em>before</em> any calls to
<code>.fork()</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Example:

</p>
<pre><code>var cluster = require(&quot;cluster&quot;);
cluster.setupMaster({
  exec : &quot;worker.js&quot;,
  args : [&quot;--use&quot;, &quot;https&quot;],
  silent : true
});
cluster.fork();</code></pre>

</div></ul>
<p>Calls <code>.disconnect()</code> on each worker in <code>cluster.workers</code>.

</p>
<p>When they are disconnected all internal handles will be closed, allowing the
master process to die gracefully if no other event is waiting.

</p>
<p>The method takes an optional callback argument which will be called when finished.

</p>
<p>This can only be called from the master process.

</p>

<p>A hash that stores the active worker objects, keyed by <code>id</code> field. Makes it
easy to loop through all the workers. It is only available in the master
process.

</p>
<p>A worker is removed from cluster.workers just before the <code>&#39;disconnect&#39;</code> or
<code>&#39;exit&#39;</code> event is emitted.

</p>
<pre><code>// Go through all workers

  }
}
eachWorker(function(worker) {

<p>Should you wish to reference a worker over a communication channel, using
the worker&#39;s unique id is the easiest way to find the worker.

</p>
<pre><code>socket.on(&#39;data&#39;, function(id) {

<h2>Class: Worker<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_class_worker" id="cluster_class_worker">#</a></span></h2>
<p>A Worker object contains all public information and method about a worker.
In the master it can be obtained using <code>cluster.workers</code>. In a worker
it can be obtained using <code>cluster.worker</code>.

</p>

<div class="signature"><ul>
<li><span class="type">String</span></li>
</div></ul>
<p>Each new worker is given its own unique id, this id is stored in the
<code>id</code>.

</p>
<p>While a worker is alive, this is the key that indexes it in
cluster.workers

</p>
<h3>worker.process<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_worker_process" id="cluster_worker_process">#</a></span></h3>
<div class="signature"><ul>
<li><span class="type">ChildProcess object</span></li>
</div></ul>
<p>All workers are created using <code>child_process.fork()</code>, the returned object
from this function is stored as <code>.process</code>. In a worker, the global <code>process</code>
is stored.

</p>
<p>See: <a href="child_process.html#child_process_child_process_fork_modulepath_args_options">Child Process module</a>

</p>
<p>Note that workers will call <code>process.exit(0)</code> if the <code>&#39;disconnect&#39;</code> event occurs
on <code>process</code> and <code>.suicide</code> is not <code>true</code>. This protects against accidental
disconnection.

</p>
<h3>worker.suicide<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_worker_suicide" id="cluster_worker_suicide">#</a></span></h3>
<div class="signature"><ul>
<li><span class="type">Boolean</span></li>
</div></ul>
<p>Set by calling <code>.kill()</code> or <code>.disconnect()</code>, until then it is <code>undefined</code>.

</p>
<p>The boolean <code>worker.suicide</code> lets you distinguish between voluntary and accidental
exit, the master may choose not to respawn a worker based on this value.

</p>
<pre><code>cluster.on(&#39;exit&#39;, function(worker, code, signal) {
  if (worker.suicide === true) {
    console.log(&#39;Oh, it was just suicide\&#39; – no need to worry&#39;).

<h3>worker.send(message, [sendHandle])<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_worker_send_message_sendhandle" id="cluster_worker_send_message_sendhandle">#</a></span></h3>

<li><code>message</code> <span class="type">Object</span></li>
<li><code>sendHandle</code> <span class="type">Handle object</span></li>
</div></ul>
<p>This function is equal to the send methods provided by
<code>child_process.fork()</code>.  In the master you should use this function to
send a message to a specific worker.

</p>
<p>In a worker you can also use <code>process.send(message)</code>, it is the same function.

</p>
<p>This example will echo back all messages from the master:

</p>
<pre><code>if (cluster.isMaster) {
  var worker = cluster.fork();
  worker.send(&#39;hi there&#39;);

} else if (cluster.isWorker) {
  process.on(&#39;message&#39;, function(msg) {
    process.send(msg);
  });
}</code></pre>
<h3>worker.kill([signal=&#39;SIGTERM&#39;])<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_worker_kill_signal_sigterm" id="cluster_worker_kill_signal_sigterm">#</a></span></h3>
<div class="signature"><ul>
<li><code>signal</code> <span class="type">String</span> Name of the kill signal to send to the worker
process.</li>
</div></ul>
<p>This function will kill the worker. In the master, it does this by disconnecting
the <code>worker.process</code>, and once disconnected, killing with <code>signal</code>. In the
worker, it does it by disconnecting the channel, and then exiting with code <code>0</code>.

</p>
<p>Causes <code>.suicide</code> to be set.

</p>
<p>This method is aliased as <code>worker.destroy()</code> for backwards compatibility.

</p>
<p>Note that in a worker, <code>process.kill()</code> exists, but it is not this function,
it is <a href="process.html#process_process_kill_pid_signal">kill</a>.

</p>
<h3>worker.disconnect()<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_worker_disconnect" id="cluster_worker_disconnect">#</a></span></h3>
<p>In a worker, this function will close all servers, wait for the &#39;close&#39; event on
those servers, and then disconnect the IPC channel.

</p>
<p>In the master, an internal message is sent to the worker causing it to call
<code>.disconnect()</code> on itself.

</p>
<p>Causes <code>.suicide</code> to be set.

</p>
<p>Note that after a server is closed, it will no longer accept new connections,
but connections may be accepted by any other listening worker. Existing
connections will be allowed to close as usual. When no more connections exist,
see <a href="net.html#net_event_close">server.close()</a>, the IPC channel to the worker
will close allowing it to die gracefully.

</p>
<p>The above applies <em>only</em> to server connections, client connections are not
automatically closed by workers, and disconnect does not wait for them to close
before exiting.

</p>
<p>Note that in a worker, <code>process.disconnect</code> exists, but it is not this function,
it is <a href="child_process.html#child_process_child_disconnect">disconnect</a>.

</p>
<p>Because long living server connections may block workers from disconnecting, it
may be useful to send a message, so application specific actions may be taken to
close them. It also may be useful to implement a timeout, killing a worker if
the <code>disconnect</code> event has not been emitted after some time.

</p>
<pre><code>if (cluster.isMaster) {
  var worker = cluster.fork();
  var timeout;

  worker.on(&#39;listening&#39;, function(address) {

<p>Similar to the <code>cluster.on(&#39;exit&#39;)</code> event, but specific to this worker.

</p>
<pre><code>var worker = cluster.fork();
worker.on(&#39;exit&#39;, function(code, signal) {
  if( signal ) {
    console.log(&quot;worker was killed by signal: &quot;+signal);
  } else if( code !== 0 ) {
    console.log(&quot;worker exited with error code: &quot;+code);
  } else {
    console.log(&quot;worker success!&quot;);
  }
});</code></pre>
<h3>Event: &#39;error&#39;<span><a class="mark" href="#cluster_event_error" id="cluster_event_error">#</a></span></h3>
<p>This event is the same as the one provided by <code>child_process.fork()</code>.

</p>
<p>In a worker you can also use <code>process.on(&#39;error&#39;)</code>.
