  SR
       
           Synchronizing Resources.
       
          A language for concurrent programming.
       
          "Resources" encapsulate processes and variables they share.
          Each Resource can be separately compiled.  "Operations"
          provide the primary mechanism for process interaction.
       
          SR provides a novel integration of the mechanisms for invoking
          and servicing operations.  Consequently, it supports local and
          {remote procedure call}, {rendezvous}, {message passing},
          {dynamic process creation}, {multicast}, {semaphore}s and
          {shared memory}.
       
          Version 2.2 has been ported to {Sun-3}, {Sun-4}, {Decstation},
          {SGI Iris}, {HP PA}, {HP 9000/300}, {NeXT}, {Sequent
          Symmetry}, {DG AViiON}, {RS/6000}, {Multimax}, {Apollo} and
          others.
