;;; rabbit
;;; The rabbit program highlights the use of continuations and
;;; timer interrupts to perform thread scheduling. The scheduler
;;; maintains a thread queue and operating system primitives for
;;; dispatching and thread creation. The queue is only visible
;;; to the operating system kernel and all accesses are performed
;;; with the timer off to prevent corruption.
;;; (thread exp) will create a thread out of exp and place it in
;;; the thread queue. you may do this for as many threads as
;;; you like. (dispatch) starts the threads going. If the
;;; thread queue ever becomes empty, dispatch exits. Threads
;;; may create other threads.
;;; The rabbit function creates a thread that spawns two offspring
;;; and dies. Each thread has a generation number associated with
;;; it. The generation number of each rabbit is one lower than that
;;; of it's parent; rabbits in generation 0 are sterile.
;;; load the queue datatype -- might need a fuller pathname
(load "queue.ss")
;;; swap-time determines the number of timer ticks in a time slice
