KC Sivaramakrishnan discusses the design of multicore OCaml and how to express lock-free concurrent algorithms using Reagents.

On “Understanding and Expressing Scalable Concurrency [PDF]”
This is Aaron Turon's PhD thesis. You might recognize Aaron's name; he has been a long time contributor to Rust. I was prompted to start reading this based on the recent post about Concurrent ML.
A smaller paper focusing on reagents is Reagents: Expressing and Composing
Fine-grained Concurrency.
Reagents are making their way into OCaml. (slides, talk, docs)

Extra: Towards the end of the talk he mentions Reagents (paper) which caught my interest.
[LDN Functionals #8 KC Sivaramakrishnan: OCaml multicore and programming with Reagents]
Here is a talk on them from 2016. I wonder how work on this is going on? Apart from this little bit in the context of Ocaml from 4 years ago, I could not find anything else. The code shown in the paper is in Scala, but I could not find a Reagents library on the JVM, nor .NET for that matter. I am definitely curious what programming with them would be like.
Edit: For completeness, Aaron Turon's thesis thread.
