基于消息传递的并发模型：Actor和CSP的区别

An object oriented language is a language with good support for objects.
A concurrency oriented language has good support for concurrency.

--Joe Armstrong

两类通用并发模型：参考七周七并发模型

• 共享内存型Shared Memory
  • 线程Threads
  • 锁Locks
  • 互斥l量Mutexes

• 消息传送型（CSP和Actor模型）
  • 进程Processes
  • 消息Messages
  • 不共享数据(状态)No shared data

重点介绍消息传送型的两种模型Actor和CSP（Communicating Sequential Process）的各项对比

主要目的：除了常用的Python、Java等用的并发模型之外，还存在这么个东西

先看两段代码

代码示例对比

使用Erlang代码和Go代码分别实现打印服务print_server，用来对比模型使用差异

Actor模型-Erlang代码

-module(print_server).

-export([print_server/0, start_print_server/0, send_msg/2]).


print_server() ->
  receive
    Msg ->
      io:format("print_server received msg: ~p~n", [Msg]),
      print_server()
  end.

start_print_server() ->
  Pid = spawn(?MODULE, print_server, []),
  Pid.

send_msg(Msg, Pid) ->
  Pid ! Msg,
  io:format("send_normal_msg: ~p~n", [Msg]).

Erlang shell输出结果如下：
