All concepts in libpeak are not mine. The experimental parallel events |
6 |
handling part is. Libpeak uses now well known concepts for |
7 |
asynchronous I/O events which can be found in several open source |
8 |
"event libraries". The runtime system is inspired from the open source |
9 |
Mac OS X CoreFoundation framework, but it's lighter in libpeak. The |
10 |
few assembly parts are taken from FreeBSD and Linux kernel source and |
11 |
from the PM2 software suite. They are only tuned a bit to fit in |
12 |
libpeak. I'm sorry if I forgot something here. I'm glad if libpeak |
13 |
might help for other projects too. |

Now some people who've put work into libpeak: |
16 |
|
17 |
Jean-Edouard Babin, author of the Perl script for the test suite. Also |
18 |
an excellent tester, especially on NetBSD and rare funky systems! |
19 |
|
20 |
Philippe Bourcier for his encouragements and ideas in several areas |
21 |
(possible applications for libpeak, benchmarking, etc). |
22 |
|
23 |
Pascal Gloor for his encouragements, advises and patches. |

Technical support is indispensable when developing a library like the |
26 |
PEAK Library. Thanks go to Jean-Edouard Babin (PPC970), Philippe |
27 |
Sainte-Marie (Linux x86 2.6.1), Kevin Roettger (Yellow Dog Linux PPC |
28 |
2.4, 2.6), Julien B. (Linux slackware, HP/UX), Nicolas Goy (Solaris |
29 |
2.9) and the University of Bordeaux I, France (AIX, older Solaris, |
30 |
Linux 2.4 SMP, Alpha, etc.) for providing the needed support. |
