Orc (programming language)
Orc
is a
concurrent
,
nondeterministic
computer programming language
created by
Jayadev Misra
at
the University of Texas at Austin
.
Orc provides
uniform
access
to
computational
services
, including
distributed
communication and
data manipulation
, through
sites
. Using four simple concurrency
primitives
, the programmer orchestrates the
invocation
of sites to
achieve
a
goal
, while
managing
timeouts,
priorities
, and
failures
.
