Crate lunatic_runtime
source ·Expand description
The lunatic vm is a system for creating actors from WebAssembly
modules. This lunatic-runtime
library allows you to embed the lunatic vm
inside your Rust
code.
The actor model in computer science is a mathematical model of concurrent computation that treats actor as the universal primitive of concurrent computation. In response to a message it receives, an actor can: make local decisions, create more actors, send more messages, and determine how to respond to the next message received. Actors may modify their own private state, but can only affect each other indirectly through messaging (removing the need for lock-based synchronization).
Note: If you are looking to build actors in Rust and compile them to lunatic
compatible
Wasm modules, checkout out the lunatic crate.
Core Concepts
-
[
Environment
] - defines the characteristics of Processes that are spawned into it. An [Environment
] is created with an [EnvConfig
] to tweak various settings, like maximum memory and compute usage. -
WasmProcess
- a handle to send signals and messages to spawned Wasm processes. It implements theProcess
trait.

Modules
Structs
- A
WasmProcess
represents an instance of a Wasm module that is being executed.
Enums
- The reason of a process finishing
- Signals can be sent to processes to interact with them.
Traits
- The
Process
is the main abstraction in lunatic.
