Hartmut and Thomas,

Thank you for the references. I will take a look at the benchmarks and the
publications. Hartmut's talks at CppCon brought me to HPX and I'm just done
with watching HPX tutorials in CSCS by Thomas and John. I do also thank you
for great lectures and tutorials about HPX.

While I will be trying to learn more from the benchmarks and publications,
let me ask a bit more specific questions. First of all, is a coroutine
implemented in HPX is just about same as C++ coroutine discussed in TS,
which is stackless and relies solely on a compiler for transformations and
optimizations, or is there anything more in HPX than that?

Also, could any of you point out if there is any example with coroutines
and active messages? I found a few with await but unfortunately
fibonacci_await failed, as commented in CMakeList, with an
exception( what(): abandoning not ready shared state: HPX(broken_promise)
). I also found transpose_await but haven't had a chance to run it.

 More examples are always better so please let me know if there is any more
example for coroutines and active message.

Thanks,
Yongkee
