Communication and Concurrency Milner R.
Publisher: PH




Go's concurrency primitives - goroutines and channels - provide an elegant and distinct means of structuring concurrent software. If light-weight, they can be a highly scalable approach to concurrency. Demand monitors support implicit bi-directional communication, logical concurrency, anticipation, and open extension. One such solution is referred to as message passing concurrency - a model in which threads share no state and communicate with each other via asynchronous messaging. For a long time when people criticize threads, my feeling has been that (a) they have a point, but (b) threads aren't as hard as they imply because (c) concurrency is always hard, but mostly (d) thread critics need to provide better tools for concurrency. NET to be able to read from databases, communicate with other servers with WCF or some other communication protocol, instead of being stuck in the C or Fortran world which the HPC market has been relegated. GO Communication and Concurrency Author: Milner R. Language: English Released: 1995. In order to communicate, typically we serialize the message contents and send to the subscriber. I know how to use threads, and I'm There aren't good tools for sharing data and communication (or if there are they aren't well enough publicized). (These concepts have an interesting history that begins with C. If the communicating processes happen to be on the same host, it still works. Another astonishing consequence of resilience is that it requires the introduction of concurrency, due to the supervision-related communication, but at the same time gives us a tool for managing it. Harsh words (at the bottom) from a language that really opened Pandora's Box in terms of giving us the tools to make concurrency an everyday part of our applications. Concurrency in OO languages like Java is full of synchronized keywords to access shared data structures, but in the actor model the communication channels between lines of code belonging to different processes is explicit.
