Kali Scheme

+

+Kali Scheme is a distributed implementation of Scheme that permits +efficient transmission of higher-order objects such as closures and +continuations. The integration of distributed communication +facilities within a higher-order programming language engenders a +number of new abstractions and paradigms for distributed computing. +Among these are user-specified load-balancing and migration policies +for threads, incrementally-linked distributed computations, and +parameterized client-server applications. + +Kali Scheme supports concurrency and communication using first-class +procedures and continuations. It integrates procedures and continuations +into a message-based distributed framework that allows any Scheme object +(including code vectors) to be sent and received in a message. Some of +the applications and implementation techniques we have looked at using +Kali Scheme include: + +

+

User-level load balancing and migration. +
Incremental distributed linking of code objects. +
Parameterized client-server applications. +
Long-lived parallel computations. +
Distributed data mining. +
Executable content in messages over wide-area networks +(e.g. the World-Wide Web) + +
