In reply to rgarcia07:
In your original example, the foreach statement executes as a single process. In your second example, a fork-join with a single statement behaves the same as begin/end.

You need to use fork-join_none to spawn independent processes.

initial begin
    channel= new(); //creating mailbox
    prod= new[4]; // create dynamic array of producers
    foreach(prod[i])
       prod[i] = new(channel); //passing mailbox handle to each producer
    cons= new(channel); //passing mailbox handle
    foreach(prod[i])
        fork
          automatic int k=i;
          prod[k].run(); 
        join_none
    cons.run(); 
  end
