viff.runtime.Share

Class Share

A shared number.

The Runtime operates on shares, represented by this class. Shares are asynchronous in the sense that they promise to attain a value at some point in the future.

Shares overload the arithmetic operations so that x = a + b will create a new share x, which will eventually contain the sum of a and b. Each share is associated with a Runtime and the arithmetic operations simply call back to that runtime.
