Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone knows about any actual work going on on in
respect to a
concurrent aka parallel Common Lisp version. I now there is actually
some Scheme work
going on (termite, atomscheme, ...) and I know about the StarLisp,
QLisp, Multilisp work
and a colleague pointed me to Curare and Parcel but everything is pretty
outdated
(means: more or less no working version) and some of the old versions
are targetting
massive parallel systems.
I'm looking more into the domain of multicore systems or maybe related to
transactual memory and if there is actually some code to look at or play
with.
Thanks in advance

Termite is Erlang like concurrency, with some scheme features ( like
continuations) built on top of Gambit actor threading, no multicores
support, you have to start multiple gambits. Something like cl-
muproc.
Scieneer from the vendors and I think SBCL on unices are the only one
who could do SMP with Common lisp.
I don't have more knowledge for the domain you're interested.

OpenMCL and Corman Lisp as well AFAIK.

Check out Clojure (sp?) which is a recent concurrent Lisp dialect
built on the JVM, with transactional memory.
