2009 Session: Message-passing Concurrency in Erlang
Friday, 14:15 - 15:05
Track: Meanwhile
In this talk, I will describe the principles behind Erlang-style Concurrency - what problems it was designed to solve, and how it fundamentally changes the way you go about structuring your programs. I will illustrate how to achieve great scalability on multicore and in compute clouds, without sacrificing clarity or your own sanity.
