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 is heavily indebted to 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
