What is KorusKorus is a very simple yet powerful parallel and distributed programming framework. It aims to improve the performance and scalability of Java applications.
Why you should try Korus?1. Futuristic approach: Make your programs ready for the next generation multi-core hardware.
2. Inherent Concurrency: No need to understand thread-programming to use Korus. Korus provides thread-less concurrency by way of code-context-switching.
3. Actor Pattern: Korus is based on Actor Design Pattern (characterized by inherent concurrency of computation within). One of first “pure” actor pattern frameworks in Java.
4. Non Blocking concurrency, No thread synchronization, No Deadlock and Starvation
5. Very Simple: Korus is very simple to use, very simple to deploy (one single jar file), and very simple to understand. Try it out yourself here.
