Concert/C 4.0: A Tool for Distributed C Programming
The
full version
of this announcement is available.
We announce a new release of Concert/C, a programming tool for
distributed programming in heterogeneous systems. Concert/C 4.0 is
available for non-commercial use without charge. It runs on AIX, IRIX,
OS/2, Solaris, and SunOS. Comprehensive documentation is available,
including a Tutorial and User Guide, and a formal specification of the
language. Concert/C systems are composed of communicating processes,
which are written as sequential C programs. Concert/C provides
primitives to create and terminate processes, connect them together,
and communicate between them, so that programmers can explicitly
express parallelization and distribution. Concert/C processes can run
on a heterogeneous set of machine architectures and operating systems,
and communicate over multiple RPC and messaging protocols.
