I&#x27;m confused by the claim that &quot;Erlang’s RPC library supports multiple node distribution, but the Erlang VM does not support automatic load balancing.&quot;<p>Erlang&#x27;s VM definitely runs each node on as many cores as are available. It has done so for several years now. For example, running his fib_rpc program on a single node on an 8-core machine using Erlang R18 happily consumes all available CPU on all cores.<p>Perhaps he&#x27;s saying that there is no automatic support for placing tasks on particularly underutilized nodes?
