...and transactional speculation. Or at least, that was the project I was hacking on in Rust/Turtlescript for a while (https://github.com/cscott/rusty-turtle) when I was fishing for a job at Mozilla. The idea is that you actually execute all ready-to-execute tasks in (true multithreaded, multiprocessor) parallel, relying on the programmer's explicit atomicity boundaries and transactional memory to clean things up in order to preserve the appearance of atomic in-order execution. --scott _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
