A Transparent Thread and Fiber Framework in C++CSP

Conference Proceeding
Chalmers, K. (2018)
A Transparent Thread and Fiber Framework in C++CSP
There are multiple low-level concurrency primitives supported today, but these often require the programmer to be explicit in their implementation decisions at design time. Th...

The Design and Evaluation of a Modern C++ Library

Conference Proceeding
Chalmers, K. (2016)
The Design and Evaluation of a Modern C++ Library. In Communicating Process Architectures 2016
Although many CSP inspired libraries exist, none yet have targeted modern C++ (C++11 onwards). The work presented has a main objective of providing a new C++ CSP library which...
