Parallel Lua Virtual Machine

Synopsis

(p)lvm is the world only parallel multi-instance virtual machine supporting the original Communicating Sequential Processes model following the Hoare semantics supporting additional concurrency! (p)lvm supports multi-processing, multi-threading, and fibers. And the fully self-contained program lvm is about 1MB size only! Available for multiple operating systems.

Process Constructors

Interprocess Communication Objects

The advantage of the Lua VM under the hood is the full support of process blocking and process switching in threads and fibers (co-routines).

Programming

To use the parallel processing features open the Csp module:

require 'Csp'
log('Creating Par..')
Par({
  function ()
    sync:await()
    log('1: Thinking')
    fork1:down()
    fork2:down()
    log('1: Eating')
    sleep(500)
    fork1:up()
    fork2:up()    
  end,
  function ()
    sync:await()
    log('2: Thinking')
    fork2:down()
    fork1:down()
    log('2: Eating')
    sleep(500)
    fork2:up()
    fork1:up()    
  end,
  function ()
    sync:await()
    log('3: Thinking')
    fork2:down()
    fork1:down()
    log('3: Eating')
    sleep(500)
    fork2:up()
    fork1:up()    
  end
},{
  sync=Barrier(3),
  fork1=Semaphore(1),
  fork2=Semaphore(1)
})
log('After Par ..')
