Synchronizing Resources - concurrent programming language  

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1988
Published: 1988

Synchronizing Resources. A language for concurrent programming. A 'resource' is the encapsulation of a process and its variables, and can be separately compiled. Supports local and remote procedure call, rendezvous, message passing, multicast, dynamic process creation, semaphores, and shared memory.

(Synchronizing Resources) is a language for writing concurrent programs. The main language constructs are resources and operations. Resources encapsulate processes and variables they share, operations provide the primary mechanism for process interaction. SR provides a novel integration of the mechanisms for invoking and servicing operations. Consequently, all of local and remote procedure calls, rendevous, message passing, dynamic process creation, multicast, and semaphores are supported. SR also supports shared global variables and operations.
