Versatile Simulation of Distributed Systems
|
Simple programming environment.
MSG is a simple API to write algorithms organized with Concurrent Sequential Processes (CSP) that interact by exchanging messages. It constitutes a convenient simplification of the reality of distributed systems. It can be used to build rather realistic simulations, but remains simple to use: most unpleasant technical elements can be abstracted away rather easily.
If you are unsure, then you probably want to use MSG. Otherwise, you may want to use one of the following:
