Beware of making mistakes reading.
Figure 2 shows run times for "performance of a dataflow based framework" and the writer has already said Erlang uses the actor model not the dataflow model. Not Erlang.
(Probably the Java based dataflow framework sold by the company that employs the writer.)
- alecco 15y agoThe article very clearly promotes Erlang and the actor model too: > The actor model appears much better suited to task-based > parallelism where concurrency is important. For example, > Erlang programs control telecom equipment with thousands > of unique requests per minute. Meanwhile, dataflow is > focused on data parallelism where single-job data > processing and analysis performance are the main > concerns. In a sense, they're slightly different > solutions for different domains, although conceptually > similar. [Citation needed] for all that, with a proper point of reference with C or C++, as per my original comment.
