Line 1:

'''SR''' (short for '''Synchronizing Resources''') is a [[programming language]] designed for [[concurrent programming]].

[[resource (computer science)|''Resources'']] encapsulate processes and the variables they share, and 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]], [[Synchronous rendezvous|rendezvous]], [[message passing]], dynamic process creation, [[multicast]], [[semaphore (programming)|semaphores]] and [[Shared memory (interprocess communication)|shared memory]].

Version 2.2 has been ported to Sun-3,the Sun-4[[Apollo Computer|Apollo]], Decstation[[DECstation]], SGI[[Data IrisGeneral]] [[AViiON]], [[HP PA,9000#Series 300/400|HP 9000/ Series 300]], NeXT[[Encore Computer|Multimax]], Sequent Symmetry[[NeXT]], DG AViiON[[PA-RISC]], [[RS/6000]], Multimax[[Sequent Computer Systems|Sequent Symmetry]], Apollo[[SGI IRIS]], [[Sun-3]], [[Sun-4]] and others.
