Projects
The following is a summary of my publicly available projects. They are mainly hosted on github
espace
The espace project is an Erlang implementation of the Tuple Spaces
(or Linda) paradigm. Details about the paradigm can be found on
Wikipedia for
Linda
and Tuple Spaces.
The are two main repositories for the project, the main application and a collections of examples
etsmgr
While ETS is a full feature and efficient method of providing shared
data among processes, it is tightly coupled with the process that
created it. This means if that process terminates/crashes, then all
the data will be lost. To overcome this, ETS allows a table to have an
heir process, which would take ownership of the table if/when the
main process terminates, so that no data is lost.
etsmgr provides a general facilty for an ETS based process to have
an heir in the case of the process crashing and restarting. After a
restart, the new process can take back the ownership of the table.
The project can be found on hex and github.
portcl
portcl helps one create Erlang ports based on Tcl scripts. This
enables an Erlang application to run external Tcl/Tk scripts, such as
a GUI or dashboard, and communicate with it as if it’s another Erlang
process.
The project can be found in the portcl project repo
