Message Passing in Monoio

[brianshih1]

Hello! New to Monoio here. I was wondering how message passing works in monoio.

In Seastar, a core can communicate between cores via calls to submit_to(other_core, [] {...}) (link to Seastar's message passing doc). Is there an equivalent mechanism in monoio?

Currently no, there's no worker/thread manager in monoio now. The connections between threads are hidden, but can be used with channel.
Adding something like submit_to should be useful. Before the runtime providing this feature, you can use channel to impl it(remember enable sync feature).

There is this issue which is about the same kind of subject: #213

I did a little implementation of a way to communicate between thread in monoio here https://github.com/Miaxos/sharded-thread/blob/main/tests/monoio.rs which is using channels backed by sharded-queue if you want to try.
