  abstract= "CCSP is a monolithic C library which acts as the run-time
     kernel for occam- programs compiled with the Kent
     Retargetable occam Compiler (KRoC). Over the past decade,
     it has grown to encompass many new and powerful features to
     support the occam-pi language as that has evolved \&\#8211;
     and continues to evolve \&\#8211; from classical occam.
     However, despite this wealth of development, the general
     methodology by which processes are scheduled and executed
     has changed little from its transputer inspired
     origins. This talk looks at applying previous research
     and new ideas to the CCSP scheduler in an effort to exploit
     fully the potential of new mass-market multicore processor
     systems. The key objective is to introduce support for
     shared-memory multicore systems, whilst maintaining the low
     scheduling overheads that occam-pi users have come to
     expect. Fundamental to this objective are wait-free
     data-structures, per-processor run-queues, and a strong will
     to consolidate and simplify the existing code base."
