Some years ago there was _much_ discussion about this
in the J Consortium and Sun regarding real-time Java.
The term was "ATC
ynchronous Transfer of Control".
Do _we_ have a missing channel here? Is the transputer
model where hardware interrupt was just another channel
good enough? It's the only concept we've got, except
from polling on the input.
I believe it's good enough, and never really understood
the deeper meaning behind all the ATC thinking, but
I wasn't sure if I had lost something...
Just look in their specs, there's so much ATC talk:

Yes, it's a good idea to know the answers.
