Re: GPars 1, 2, and 3
if you need more recent gpars documentation, i'm working on v2.0 of it that you can see here: http://gpars.aws.ie.a9sapp.eu the download page does show gpars 2.0 but it's just copies of 1.2.1 that i've renamed as placeholders. since jsr-166Y may be dropped there are a number of gpars features that may disappear, so we're hoping to clarify this issue before summer release. 😊 On 16 March 2017 at 23:13, Jochen Theodorou wrote: > On 16.03.2017 22:54, Jochen Theodorou wrote: > >> On 14.03.2017 12:06, Russel Winder wrote: >> [...] >> >>> It might be worth thinking about whether GPars has a real future since >>> so few people seem to be interested in actively working on it.

GPars 1, 2, and 3
Once JAXFinance and DevoxxUK are over I will (finally) be able to get back to progressing GPars 2.0 to releasability. I also have to release Gant to try and find out how to release via JCenter/Bintray/Artifactory, good knowledge for GPars. Something nearly got done in January but that effort fell at the last hurdle. I also note that JDK9 may have some features that require a rethink of some GPars implementation detail for a JDK and later specific GPars. cf. http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/html/j9mm.html So the overall plot seems to be: GPars 1.X effectively abandoned GPars 2.x JDK8 and above only due 2017-07 GPars 3.x JDK9 and above in planning. It might be worth thinking about whether GPars has a real future since so few people seem to be interested in actively working on it. With Quasar (Parallel Universe thing not Quasar Framework) there is a fibers, actors, CSP framework with resources behind it. OK so no proper dataflow out of the box, but it could be added. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
