Editing SR (programming language) (section)

'''SR''' (short for '''Synchronizing Resources''') is a [[programming language]] designed for [[concurrent programming]].

[[resource (computer science)|''Resources'']] encapsulate processes and the variables they share, and can be separately compiled. ''Operations'' provide the primary mechanism for process interaction.

SR provides a novel integration of the mechanisms for invoking and servicing operations. Consequently, it supports local and [[remote procedure call]], [[Synchronous rendezvous|rendezvous]], [[message passing]], dynamic process creation, [[multicast]], [[semaphore (programming)|semaphores]] and [[Shared memory (interprocess communication)|shared memory]].

Version 2.2 has been ported to the [[Apollo Computer|Apollo]], [[DECstation]], [[Data General]] [[AViiON]], [[HP 9000#Series 300/400|HP 9000 Series 300]], [[Encore Computer|Multimax]], [[NeXT]], [[PA-RISC]], [[RS/6000]], [[Sequent Computer Systems|Sequent Symmetry]], [[SGI IRIS]], [[Sun-3]], [[Sun-4]] and others.
