Tuple Space

A region where processes deposit and retrieve persistent tuples; central to Linda's asynchronous coordination model.

concept

Linda
implements
The core parallel programming model introduced in this paper, based on tuple space operations and orthogonal to any base language.
Linda (tuple space model)
implements
A model of process creation and coordination based on generative communication and tuple spaces; the central topic of the paper.
distributed data structures
extends
Data structures stored as collections of tuples in tuple space, accessible to many processes.
If two processes need to communicate, they don't exchange messages or share a variable; instead, the data producing process generates a new data object and sets it adrift in tuple space.
about
Defines generative communication: the unique mechanism that enables uncoupled programming and persistent data objects.

tuple space visualizer
about
Debugging tool that displays tuple space state as quasi-physical spheres, built by Paul Bercovitz.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

tupleconcept0.843
An ordered collection of typed fields, representing a persistent data object in Linda.
live tupleconcept0.777
A tuple that represents an active process; upon termination it becomes a passive data tuple.
The tuple space model covers all forms of communication: inter-process, inter-language, user-system, past-future.claim0.754
Argues the generality of the model beyond just parallel programming.
passive tupleconcept0.753
An ordinary data object tuple; the result of a computation or communication.
White Spaceconcept0.744
The charged, active areas between and around text elements, differentiating wordspace from worldspace.
Positive Spaceconcept0.735
The property that every bit of space swells outward, is substantial in itself, and is never the leftover from an adjacent shape; every single part of space has positive shape as a center with no amorphous meaningless leftovers
Weight spaceconcept0.735
The space of the model's parameter matrices, where VPD operations take place.
Public spaceconcept0.731
The realm of streets, squares, and paths that belong to the community, forming the yellow in the four-fold pattern.
