Spending some time on NIP.NET
It’s been a while since I touched my NIP.NET work. NIP was originally developed in C++ as part of my PhD research with Prof. Paul Watson. It is a parallel runtime for shared- and distributed-memory multiprocessors. It implements an extension to the original Lazy Task Creation technique1, load balancing, and an object-based Distributed Shared Memory…
