Technical Notes edit / delete

Transputer tech notes. Some very interesting stuff here: applications (notably the multiplayer flight simulator), introductions to the programming model, optimisation tips...

McIlroy on Coroutines edit / delete

A good description of coroutines, with a suggested syntax for Pascal-like languages. There are some parallels here with PHW's suggestions for mobile process syntax.

The LuaJIT Project edit / delete

As the name suggests, a JIT for Lua. There's also a coroutines library for Lua here. It would be interesting to knock together a CSP library for Lua using coroutines.

Ct: C for Throughput Computing edit / delete

Intel's approach to implicit parallelism: a C++ library that lets you write expressions which compile down to parallel code. I suspect debugging this would be "interesting".

OpenStomp(TM) Home edit / delete

Propeller-based guitar effects unit. Looks fun. Shame it's Windows-only.

py library edit / delete

Includes a "greenlets" module that provides coroutines for Python without needing to modify the interpreter. We could build a CSP scheduler on top of this fairly easily (even using multiple threads).

python-safethread - Google Code edit / delete

CPython modified for better (i.e. no GIL) concurrency. The design rationale is interesting, although I think it's bonkers.

What's New in Python 2.6 edit / delete

Two interesting things: the multiprocessing module which provides some new farming facilities, and the ast module which provides a Python parser that we could use to do static checking.
