Hardcore server design

[alexo#bigfoot,com (Alex Oren)]

Hello guys.

With all due respect to RP/PG/PK threads, this time I'd like to get my hands
dirty in some low-level server issues.

I've been reading about GC, message dispatch and method lookup techniques and
some of them seem to be highly applicable to an OO server foundation.

Please check out the following links and share your thoughts:
 * http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/oocsb/papers.shtml
 * http://www.lpac.ac.uk/SEL-HPC/Articles/GeneratedHtml/comp.misc.html

There are lots of articles on these pages but I'm specifically referring to
articles about message dispatch, method lookup and the Self language.

Eagerly awaiting your replies.


Have fun,
Alex.
