A description of the Erlang Runtime System ERTS and the virtual Machine BEAM.
This is an attempt to document how the internals of the Erlang Runtime System work.
Please feel free to contribute since this work is far from done, and it will probably never be done since there is continuous development of the Erlang runtime system.
The book is written in AsciiDoc and can be read directly on github in your browser or you can create a pdf from the source code.
To read the book online just open the file book.asciidoc.
To build a pdf from source you will need make, asciidoc, pdflatex.
sudo apt-get install asciidoc make
