Abstract | We describe "Glish", an interpreted language for building distributed systems from modular, event-oriented programs. These programs are written in conventional languages such as C, C++, or FORTRAN. Glish scripts can create local and remote processes and control their communication. Glish also provides a full, array-oriented programming language for manipulating binary data sent between the processes. In general Glish uses a centralized communication model where interprocess communication passes through the Glish interpreter, allowing dynamic modification and rerouting of data values, but Glish also supports point-to-point links between processes when necessary for high performance. Glish is available via anonymous ftp. |
