Abstract

This paper discusses the requirement for intermachine communication and how this requirement is met with APL2's cross-system shared variables. One problem encountered in the design is the mapping of APL2's cooperative peer-to-peer communication model onto a client server data transport mechanism. Another is the ability of APL2's sharing mechanism to address applications on other machines. The goal of the facility is to provide a high level of communication between applications running on different machines while introducing the minimum language extension.

Shared variables
Draft Standard APL

Shared variables are an optional-facility. They are defined as an interface between cooperating APL sessions. They may be used to provide an interface between APL programs and non-APL system facilities.A variable can be shared by precisely two sessions; ...
System formulation and APL shared variables

The problem of providing communication with APL programs was approached by formulating systems as collections of autonomous processors communicating on interfaces consisting of shared variables. This paper discusses the formulation of a theoretical APL ...
