In computers, XC is a programming language for real-time embedded parallel processors, targeted at the XMOS XCore processor architecture.XC is an imperative language, based on the features for parallelism and communication in occam, and the syntax and sequential features of C. It provides primitive features that correspond to the various architectural resources provided, namely: channel ends, locks, ports and timers. In combination with XCore processors, XC is used to build embedded systems with levels of I/O, real-time performance and computational ability usually attributed to field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) devices..

Example from Linguist:

int main()
{
  int x;
  chan c;
  par {
    c <: 0;
    c :> x;
  }
  return x;
}

Example from Wikipedia:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <platform.h>

void hello(int id, chanend cin, chanend cout){
  if (id > 0) cin :> int;
  printf("Hello from core %d!", id);
  if (id < 3) cout <: 1;
}

int main(void) {
  chan c[3];
  par (int i=0; i<4; i++)
    on tile[i] : hello(i, c[i], c[(i+1)%4]);
  return 0;
}
