I do apologies if this question does not fit the standard of this forum, although i'm a newbie with functional programming.

I am wandering how to create a new TupleSpace and return a new Pid of that tuplespace.

I know that i have to use a spawn function and the pid but not how to initilize a new tuplespace.

tnx for your help

What is a TupleSpace? Could you please elaborate?

Normally when you spawn a new process you call
Code:

Pid = proc_lib:spawn(M,F,A).


Where M F A is the Module, Function Arguments to the initial function for the process.

Hope this helped out somewhat...

Tnx for your reply, much appreciated, a tuple space is an implementation of the associative memory paradigm for parallel/distributed computing. It provides a repository of tuples that can be accessed concurrently.

I'm trying to create a new function that returns the Pid of a new (empty) tuplespace.

Your tuple space can be a process with the following interface:

* out(tuple)

* in(match)

* rd(match)

Implementing the routines in dets or ets, mnesia.

All three databases offer all you need for the classic Linda interface.
