Gyre

My term project for Professor Spencer Rugaber's CS 6390, Gyre investigates programming language support for communicating sequential processes, especially on manycore NUMA machines; it borrows heavily from Erlang, borrowing many themes and a great deal of syntax from that language. Other influences include Concurrent ML (CML) and the Bliss systems programming language. It is partially an outgrowth of my work on libtorque, and a UNIX implementation would likely make use of that library.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

-- Lewis Carroll

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world

-- William Butler Yeats
