Smalltalk is a key component in Lam&#8217;s software control system for a broad range of the equipment it manufactures. Tudor Girba is a leading member of the tools and environment development effort in Pharo, having architected the Glamorous Toolkit for live programming. Eliot Miranda is author of the Cog virtual machine that underlies Pharo and other Smalltalk dialects.<\/p>\n<p>Lam has engaged Tudor and Eliot to explore potential enhancements in Lam&#8217;s use of Smalltalk. These enhancements range from running highly optimized Smalltalk on low cost, single board computers, to enhancing Lam&#8217;s Smalltalk development practices with state-of-the-art live programming. During the engagement, Tudor and Eliot successfully moved a key communication component of the control system to Pharo. It was a challenging task aimed at extending the reach of Lam\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s system to the Pharo world including the option of executing on ARM processors.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nTudor Girba, Eliot Miranda and Chris Thorgrimsson<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp\"> \t<form name=\"pdf24Form0\" method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/doc2pdf.pdf24.org\/wordpress.php\" target=\"pdf24PopWin\" onsubmit=\"var pdf24Win = window.open('about:blank', 'pdf24PopWin', 'resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=250,left='+(screen.width\/2-300)+',top='+(screen.height\/3-125)+''); pdf24Win.focus(); if(typeof pdf24OnCreatePDF === 'function'){void(pdf24OnCreatePDF(this,pdf24Win));}\"> \t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogCharset\" value=\"Cw1x07UAAA==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogPosts\" value=\"MwQA\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogUrl\" value=\"yygpKbDS1y8vL9fLzSxKzEtJTAIRevlF6frJ+elJOfnpAA==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogName\" value=\"c85PV3DKyU8HAA==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogValueEncoding\" value=\"gzdeflate base64\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postId_0\" value=\"MzY1AgA=\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postTitle_0\" value=\"BcHBDcAgDAPAVbwV7wi5BRUchAIV23OXCJvE5jwoNsZBOLp9RBTi8db8r3phki9ldiou\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postLink_0\" value=\"FcRRDkAwDADQE1WREHGborbF1i5LadxevI8XzeqK6O5dSY3koO2v0xZw17BlDTj2w4z9guOEzkCN4eH2QqRaXzCFQheDRYZTc1ZPEoBE9JadC4vhBw==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postAuthor_0\" value=\"S0zJzcwDAA==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postDateTime_0\" value=\"MzIwNNM1sNA1MlUwMLQysLAyMgAA\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postContent_0\" value=\"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\" \/> \t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pdf24.org\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"www.pdf24.org\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.mirandabanda.org\/cogblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf24-post-to-pdf\/img\/pdf_32x32.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"32\" \/><\/a> \t\t<span class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-space\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span> \t\t<span class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-text\">Send article as PDF<\/span> \t\t<span class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-space\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span> \t\t<input class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-input\" style=\"margin: 0px;\" type=\"text\" name=\"sendEmailTo\" placeholder=\"Enter email address\" \/> \t\t<input class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-submit\" style=\"margin: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" \/> \t<\/form> <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, We are very happy to make the following announcement: Lam Research, a leading supplier of wafer fabrication equipment and services to the global semiconductor industry, is an experienced user of the Smalltalk programming language.
