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

''Resources[[Resource]]s'' encapsulate processes and the variables they share, and can be separately compiled. ''Operations[[Operation]]s'' 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 (programming)|semaphores]] 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.
