Casey, > Has anyone taken the actor model down to the metal?
I studied this in detail back in 1990 and had several references. These are physically hard for me to reach right now and probably are not easy to find on the web. Though not an actor model, you might find my "RNA" idea of objects and messages at the transistor level interesting: http://www.merlintec.com:8080/hardware/19 This text is mostly just a note to myself and probably doesn't make much sense to other people. An animation of the idea, however, would probably be easily understood even by children (and probably more easily by biologists than computer "scientists", hence the forced acronym from Ring Network Architecture). I plan to work on this next year. -- Jecel _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
