Massively Parallel Technologies (MPT) has conceived of a revolutionary software ecosystem that brings together application creation, optimization, and commerce. Cloud computing, multi-core processors, and “app stores” offer massive opportunities for performance, efficiency, and monetization, but they create significant problems in collaboration, optimization, rights management, and revenue sharing. MPT’s technology addresses these problems.
Here is a video [...]

Direct message passing is a means of communicating between concurrent software tasks by which tasks can send discrete messages directly to one another, without going through another RTOS mechanism such as a “mailbox” along the way. The messages can contain large quantities of data; or they may contain no data at all [...]
