Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell Actors, Linda, publish / subscribe models?

Hi, the actor package seems unmaintained and probably doesn't fit your needs. If you want to implement some kind of publish/subscribe system over the network, I'd suggest you take a look at ZeroMQ[1] and AMQP[2]. AMQP is probably easier to get started with, but it requires you to set up a dedicated broker, which (if you have very high throughput) might become a bottleneck. ZeroMQ, on the other hand, allows for a more decentralized architecture.

Hi, I am trying to figure out what Haskell libraries can be used to build publish / subscribe communication between threads running both in the same and different address spaces on the net. For my needs any of these models will work: - Actors [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model ] - Linda tuple space [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_%28coordination_language%29 ] - Publish / subscribe [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Message_Service#Publish.2Fsubscribe_model]

I need to build a framework to coordinate task producers / consumers distributed in the same and different address spaces. I need to scale a data processing application somewhat Hadoop-like way yet in more flexible manner, without Hadoop-specific distributed FS constraints.

Looking through Applications and libraries/Concurrency and parallelism:

I found Haskell actor package [ http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/actor ] that fails to build with ghc 7.0.

Please advise on latest working libraries.

Thanks!

Have anybody used Haskell actor package [ http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/actor ]?
