我在Erlang Resources 豆瓣小站上发起了一个征集活动 [链接] ,"[征集] 我们读过的Erlang论文",希望大家来参加.发起这样一个活动的目的是因为Erlang相关的出版物很少,很多时候都是从学术论文中寻找答案,而发现合适的论文是第一步,这个活动就是为了解决这个问题.

 

  在一个极小的知识点可能都会有一篇精彩的论文为你条分缕析,抽丝剥茧,甚至可以拼凑起来一个完整的Erlang知识系统,我们开始吧...

Heap Architectures for Concurrent Languages using Message Passing
地址: http://www.fantasi.se/publications/ISMM02.pdf

摘要:We discuss alternative heap architectures for languages that rely on automatic memory management and implement con-
currency through asynchronous message passing. We describe how interprocess communication and garbage collec-
tion happens in each architecture, and extensively discuss the tradeoffs that are involved. In an implementation set-
ting (the Erlang/OTP system) where the rest of the runtime system is unchanged, we present a detailed experimental
comparison between these architectures using both synthetic programs and large commercial products as benchmarks.

On Preserving Term Sharing in the Erlang Virtual Machine

地址: http://user.it.uu.se/~kostis/Papers/erlang12_sharing.pdf 

摘要:In this paper we describe our experiences and argue through examples why flattening terms during copying is not a good idea for

a language like Erlang. More importantly, we propose a sharing preserving copying mechanism for Erlang/OTP and describe a pub-

licly available complete implementation of this mechanism. 

 

Bit-level Binaries and Generalized Comprehensions in Erlang
地址: http://user.it.uu.se/~pergu/papers/erlang05.pdf

备注: To further simplify programming on bit streams we then show how binary comprehensions can be introduced in the language and how binary and list comprehensions can be extended to allow both binary and list generators.
备注: 简单描述Core Erlang 和Erlang的关系,发展历史 从Erlang代码到Core Erlang代码中间经历的分析和转换过程中是怎样被大大简化的.
 
 
Programming Efficiently with Binaries and Bit Strings
摘要: This paper will describe the new additions to the language and show how they can be used efficiently given the new optimizations
of binary pattern matching and binary construction. It also includes some performance numbers to give an idea of the gains that can be
made with the new optimizations.
备注:Erlang Efficiency Guide告诉你How,这篇论文告诉你Why

Static Detection of Race Conditions in Erlang
摘要: We address the problem of detecting some commonly occurring kinds of race conditions in Erlang programs using static analy-

sis. 

 

Erlang’s Exception Handling Revisited

地址: http://www.erlang.se/workshop/2004/exception.pdf 

摘要:  We give a comprehensive description of the behaviour of exceptions in modern-day Erlang , present a theoretical model of the
semantics of exceptions, and use this to derive the new try-construct.

 
 
Cleaning up Erlang Code is a Dirty Job but Somebody’s Gotta Do It

A Study of Erlang ETS Table Implementations and Performance
摘要: The viability of implementing an in-memory database, Erlang ETS, using a relatively-new data structure, called a Judy array, was studied by comparing the performance of ETS tables based on four data structures: AVL balanced binary trees, B-trees, resizable linear hash tables, and Judy arrays. 
 
 
A Stream Library using Erlang Binaries
摘要: This paper introduces the memory and behavior characteristics of lists, tuples and binaries in erlang, then continues with a de-

scription of the Bit syntax and standard methods of using binaries to deal with streamed data. Next it introduces BIF functions that
are shown to be much faster than using the traditional Bit syntax to manipulate binary data.
