An engineer from a multiprocessor vendor (who would probably rather not be named) told me: >The Unix International group has an excellent proposal for a >threads library which we have reviewed. (His comment was particularly encouraging, since this vendor's system software is 1985-vintage, unfortunately, and they don't have true lightweight processes). Does anyone know how to get a copy of this proposal? Any speculation on how likely it is to become a de-facto standard (please note if you have any vested commercial interests if you comment on this)? If this proposal is as good as the engineer says, it would seem to me that any multiprocessor vendor would be at a great disadvantage if they didn't provide this library RSN. Thanks for any help! -- Dave Bakken Internet: bakken@cs.arizona.edu 721 Gould-Simpson Bldg UUCP: uunet!arizona!bakken Dept of Computer Science; U of Arizona Phone: +1 602 621 8372 (w) Tucson, AZ 85721 USA FAX: +1 602 621 4246
