Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard
Seminar Series

60 Oxford Street, Room 330
Jim Waldo, Distinguished Engineer, Sun Microsystems Labs
Seminar Title:
Parallelism, Distribution, and Scaling On-line Games
Abstract: This talk will discuss Project Darkstar, a server-side
framework for massive multi-player on-line games (MMOs). Darkstar
provides a highly concurrent, distributed infrastructure with a
programming model that allows the game programmer to write as though
he or she was working on a single thread running on a single machine.
This can only be done by carefully restricting the programming model;
we will discuss the model and how we use that model to hide
complexity while giving scalability.
