This was my first visit to the University of Amsterdam in Science Park and I never knew that that SNET Compiler would be so alluring. I would like to thank Dr. Clemens Grelck of Information Science School (University of Amsterdam) for introducing me to S-NET.
Nowadays, it’s a great challenge for the programmers to design fully asynchronous nodes which runs in parallel. S-NET is something which works on the principle of asynchronous nodes. I would say that these nodes are 90% asynchronous. S-NET is designed to be a coordination language for asynchronous stream processing. The language achieves a near-complete separation between the application code, written in any conventional programming language, and the coordination/communication code written in S-Net. S-NET involved “Box” programming where each box is programmed separately and is then connected to other boxes using sequential pipelining. S-NET has got its own libraries and semantics.
