Welcome to Kompics

Kompics is a message-passing component model for building distributed systems by putting together protocols programmed as event-driven components. Systems built with Kompics leverage multi-core machines out of the box and can be dynamically reconfigured to support hot software upgrades. A simulation framework enables deterministic debugging and reproducible performance evaluation of unmodified Kompics distributed systems. Check out our P2P examples.
