"Kilim is a message-passing framwork for Java that provides ultra-lightweight threads and facilities for fast, safe, zero-copy messaging between these threads.
It consists of a bytecode postprocessor (a "weaver"), a run time library with buffered mailboxes (multi-producer, single consumer queues) and a user-level scheduler and a type system that puts certain constraints on pointer aliasing within messages to ensure interference-freedom between threads." - Gary Burd
