Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2001 10:39:39 +0300 (IDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.20_heb2.08.0109141035550.25541-100000@zigzag> (raw)
A new distribution of Ensemble is now available.
It is downloadable from:

Once NFS problems are solved in Cornell, the Ensemble
main site at:
www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/Projects/Ensemble
will also be updated.
The release notes are:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES
1. A new C-interface, under sub-directory ce. It works under all supported
platforms.
The README from the CE subdirectory:
The CE directory defines a C thin C-interface overlaid on
the ML interface. To use the interface one should read the interface
file
(ce.h) and link with the library --- libce.a on Unix platforms, and
libce.lib on windows platforms. The documentation can be found in the
doc subdirectory.
In the future, CE will form the major C-interface to the system,
where HOT and Maestro are overlaid on top of it.
The overhead, as measured on Linux, is very low, on the order on 10\%
above the cost of direct ML calls. This should be lowered even
further in the future. Currently messages are copied between C and ML,
we intend to fix this, allowing for zero-copy.
Caveats:
Due to a bug in the current ocaml distribution, the library is a bit
flaky on WIN32 platforms.
2. Removed 4-byte alignment restriction on io-vectors.
3. Various small bug fixes, and documentation patches.
- Added documentation to the State-Transfer layer (Xfer).
- Stopped supporting the Ethernet mode.
- Cleanup of the makefiles.
- Other small changes.
4. The current distribution was compiled under ocaml-3.01, due to
bugs in the Unix library in ocaml-3.02.
