Hi Mandana,
I have a bunch of queries in understanding the X10 programming model. Could you please answer for me or redirect them to a right person if required. Thanks much. 1. In X10, the doc speaks of activities (same as threads in Java) and atomicity (same as synchronized in Java) for synchronization. But if I wanted my threads to concurrently access the same shared object at the same time but using some mechanism on locks, wont it be possible in X10? 2. Activity is a light weight Thread. Task is a light weight Activity. Is there something like a heavy weight Activity and/or Task then? Can you elaborate? 3. What is a worker activity as per X10? IS IT same as a simple activity, but that being spawned by a main rooted activity? 4. The notion of THREAD (both as a concept and keyword in X10) are completely removed??! Can you refer me to a more comprehensive/specific guide/reference for understanding activities? Is the Functional Spec available somewhere? BTW, is it shareable at all? Thanks and Regards, ?
