Foil 37 TCE -- Implementation -- 15: Ports

From Threads with TCE in detail CPS600 Spring Semester95 -- April 1995. by Janusz Niemiec and Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE

ports are processes' points of contact, there are four standard ports for each process:
  • TCE_InPort -- a general receiving port, on this type of port requests to create a channel will be directed.
  • TCE_OutPort -- a general sending port, this port is to be used to create channels between an application and the TCE kernel.
  • TCE_ExcPort -- an exception port, used to create channels on which exceptions from the OS and the TCE kernel will be reported.
  • TCE_NullPort -- a port used to close one or both directions on a channel.
Except those standard ports, an application may have any number of sending ports, which can be treated as images of other processes' TCE_InPorts.
