Most(?) notably Claes Wikström, Tony +Rogvall, Björn Gustavsson, Patrik Nyblom, Rickard Green, Raimo Niskanen +and Arndt Jonasson. + +Marcus Arendt did the original port for Windows NT. Most of this code +was rewritten by Björn Gustavsson, Patrik Nyblom, Kenneth Lundin, +Fredrik Tillman and Mattias Nilsson. + +Per Hedeland did the original port for VxWorks. This port was +improved by Peter Högfeldt, Patrik Nyblom and Patrik Winroth. + +Mikael Pettersson, of the HiPE project, designed and implemented +the new 2-bit tag scheme. + +The SMP support has mainly been designed and implemented by Rickard Green, +Tony Rogvall (mostly ets), Mikael Pettersson (mostly optimized synchronization +primitives, and timer thread), and Patrik Nyblom (mostly dynamic drivers, and +Windows port). Also Björn Gustavsson and Raimo Niskanen have contributed. + +There are also a lot of people who have contributed smaller (and +bigger) things to the emulator and runtime system: Per Hedeland, +Peter Högfeldt, Kenneth Lundin, Fredrik Tillman, Mattias Nilsson, +Kent Boortz, Markus Torpvret, Jan-Erik Dahlin, Sebastian Strollo +and perhaps more... + +Björn Gustavsson (mostly matching) and Arndt Jonasson (mostly construction) +implemented the bit syntax instructions, borrowing some code from +the original prototype implementation by Tony Rogvall and Claes Wikström. + +The HiPE project (Kostis Sagonas, Mikael Petterson, Erik Johansson, +Richard Carlsson, Ulf Magnusson, Jesper Wilhelmsson) added the +hipe runtime to the Beam emulator. Björn Gustavsson helped to +integrate the hipe runtime. + +Rickard Green has designed and implemented the erts_alloc framework and +memory allocators. + +Per Gustafsson (and perhaps others in the HiPE group) come up with +idea for bit-level binaries and binary comprehensions. Per Gustafsson +and Björn Gustavsson implemented them in the BEAM compiler and run-time +system. Björn Gustavsson implemented the new optimizations for matching +and appending of binaries in BEAM compiler and run-time system, while +Per Gustafsson implemented the optimizations in the HiPE compiler and +HiPE run-time system. + +The big heap-fragment-elimination project has been going on for many +years and several releases, and was finally finished in R12B. Suggested +by the HiPE group in order to support constant pools and possible +future GC improvements, most of the work was carried out by +Björn Gustavsson, with help from Mikael Pettersson and the HiPE group. + + +Original Authors and Contributors: + +Mike Williams +Joe Armstrong +Bogumil Hausman +Björn Gustavsson +Claes Wikström +Tony Rogvall +Patrik Nyblom +Rickard Green +Raimo Niskanen +Arndt Jonasson +Marcus Arendt +Kenneth Lundin +Fredrik Tillman +Mattias Nilsson +Per Hedeland +Peter Högfeldt +Patrik Winroth +Mikael Pettersson +Kent Boortz +Markus Torpvret +Jan-Erik Dahlin +Sebastian Strollo +Kostis Sagonis +Erik Johansson +Richard Carlsson +Ulf Magnusson +Jesper Wilhelmsson +Jakob Cederlund +Magnus Fröberg +Per Gustafsson +Björn-Egil Dahlberg + +Open Source Contributors: + +Mick Dwyer +Geoff Wong +Maurice Castro +Luke Gorrie +Shawn Pearce +Ruslan Shevchenko +Tony Rogvall (at Bluetail): New faster inet_drv (R7) + HTTP packet mode (R8) +Sebastian Strollo (at Bluetail): poll() as alternative to select() +Mikael Pettersson (HiPE) + +Leonid Timochouk and +Serge Aleynikov + then (2006) at IDT Corp. + Wrote the original SCTP implementation, adapted by the OTP team; + in inet_drv.c in the emulator, as well as the parts in the + kernel application.
