...Instead of traditional lock-based programming, one programs with atomic memory transactions: if a memory transaction returns normally it gets committed, if instead it signals an error (Lisp slang for throwing an exception) it is rolled back. Memory transactions can safely run in parallel in different threads, are re-executed from the beginning in case of conflicts or if consistent reads cannot be guaranteed, and effects of a transaction are not visible from other threads until it commits. STMX gives freedom from deadlocks, automatic rollback on failure, and it aims at resolving the tension between granularity and concurrency.

AshTL aims to provide a complete framework for dealing with spatial data in an efficient, parallel manner. As such, we primarily provide container classes and data types relating to 2D and 3D coordinate grids. AshTL is currently in alpha development (some features may not work correctly, and interfaces are likely to change). While in alpha and beta development, AshTL is licensed under AGPL v3+. Stable releases will include an exception so that AshTL itself will always be AGPL, but will not force code that uses it to be.
