====== tame v2 ======

//tame// is a generic tool for simplifying SFS/sfslite [[:sfslite]] programming,
useful with OKWS, but also for any other [[:sfslite]]-based
application.  It is available under the [[:sfslite]] distribution.
//tame// is a simple C++-level rewriter.  Input files look a lot like
regular C++ files, with some small modifications.  Output files are
standard C++ files that are then compiled and linked against the
libasync libraries to produce your library or application.  Files
generated with tame can call legacy ''libasync'' applications, and
legacy ''libasync'' applications can call //tame//d functions,
without any glue.


===== Related Work =====

Eddie Kohler has written a version of the //tame// abstractions in a clean, lightweight library, called
[[http://www.read.cs.ucla.edu/tamer|tamer]].  It carries less ``baggage'' than the full sfslite implementation, and is also better documented.  Tamer is not backwards-compatible with SFS or sfslite.

===== Publications =====
The following paper has been accepted to Usenix Annual Technical Conference, 2007.  The Wiki pages for Tame v2 should now approximately match the paper.  If not, please report any bugs.
