ZeroMQ Forked by its Creators
Martin Sustrik and Martin Lucina, creators of the original ZeroMQ, have decided to regain control of the project by forking it into a new project called Crossroads I/O. This report covers a brief history of ZeroMQ and its predecessor AMQP.
Using Messaging and Scheduling for Lock-free Access to Shared State
In a message passing system there may be times when mutable data must be shared amongst many tasks. In traditional programming this would be handled by a read-writer block, which would allow one writer thread to block all other threads while it updates the shared data. With a technique found in frameworks such as TPL Dataflow it is possible to avoid this.
Asynchronous Message Processing using Task Parallel Library and Reactive Extensions
A new preview of TPL Dataflow has recently been released along with Visual Studio Async. Along with performance enhancements and stronger ties with the Reactive Framework, it is being positioned as a foundation for building actor/agent style frameworks as opposed to a complete solution.
