Hackers, I am currently going through the design documents provided on Ptolemy's website and I understand that the determination of whether the threading model is preemptive or cooperative is up to the implementers of the virtual machine and can vary across different implementations. As a result, Java developers must write programs that work under both models.
My questions: 1. Does Ptolemy's actors, directors etc. (ProcessThread classes) accomodate both cooperative and preemptive thread models to allow for platform-independence? 2. What special considerations are given to the threads in Ptolemy (as briefly described on page 50 of the Actor package on the design documents)? 3. Are there better documents that describe this other than the Actor package and the source code itself?
