- - [[http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitbrowse/sixth-data/doc/index.html][flexible and distributed computation and data storage]]

#+END_VERSE
+ System is nowhere near complete (given magnitude of effort required
and my free time available). Contributions welcome ! :)
+* Computation ideas
++ Program - stored instructions for execution by computer.
+
++ Process - Currently running program.
+ + Process is self contained. Has a full copy of program code and
+ every dependent library.
+
+ + Memory used by processes is content addressed/deduplicated at
+ low level in the system.
+
+ + This allows:
+ + Upgrading software installed in the system without breaking
+ already running processes.
+
+ + Easier migration of running processes between physical
+ computers.
+
+ + Possibility to suspend/resume arbitrary processes to permament
+ storage.
+
+ + Possibility checkpoint/revert running process.
+
+ + Possibility to clone/branch running process.

* Frequently Given Answers
- Why such name ?
- In short: it's just a number.
- Many years ago inspired by the ideas of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)][Forth (programming
- language)]] I decided to create my own implementation [[http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitbrowse/fifth/doc/index.html][Fifth]]
+ language)]] I decided to create my own implementation [[http://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/fifth/][Fifth]]
(computing/programming environment).
- Then I realized I miss type safe object oriented capabilities. So
I updated the name to Sixth and switched to Java.
