In your opinion do you think ACE (Adaptive Communication Environment) http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html tackles the threading under C++ much better since ACE makes programming in a multi-threaded environment much simpler? Had ACE been available for Ptolemy Classic, would it have prevailed? What if SystemC-2.0.1 was to use ACE instead of QuickThreads and fibers? Better alternative?
