I have played with Erlang quite a bit (not built any real programs however) I like Erlang for several reasons
- functional - open and freely available - production level implementation (Ericsson) You can write Erlang programs that run on one core, multiple cores, or multiple servers. Erlang is based on concurrent processes and messages. It also has the capability to "hot swap" code while programs are running. As far as HPC, Erlang is interpreted although it can be "compiled" and it does not directly support the idea of an array. Plus if you are not familiar with functional languages, it may seem a bit weird. If you want to check it out, you can download a version at erlang.org (it is often part of many distributions). Plus have pick up a copy of Joe Armstrong's "Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World" -- Doug > Hello, > I'm currently learning Erlang and I'm curious have any of you guys have > ever > used Erlang on their clusters? > > Have anyone experimented in doing any academic work with it? > > -- > Best regards, > Marian Marinov > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Doug _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
