Scalable and Serializable Networked Multi-actor Programming
summary
AEON is an actor language and runtime that enforces serializable multi-actor events by organizing actors in a DAG via ownership and using a dominator lock protocol to serialize access across descendant regions. Implementation runs on AWS m1 small instances, scales from 2 to 32 servers with near-linear throughput for user-heavy workloads, and outperforms Infinispan and Orleans in most benchmarks; changing-ownership events increase locking and reduce throughput. The system is implemented and evaluated end-to-end.
