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
