The documentation of Spinnaker architecture gives hints on why the Actor Model might be a good choice: http://apt.cs.manchester.ac.uk/projects/SpiNNaker/software/
Each core can react to incoming messages, execute code and send messages. Although, perhaps, the sharing of state would need to be forbidden for the implementation to be of the Actor Model.

I’ve been eyeballing that the last few weeks.
If I weren’t in the middle of deploying an entirely new platform at work, I’d pile more time into implementing NX into my dormant Elixir implementation. As it is, it seems like there’s rapid activity occurring with this, and waiting a couple more months might make sense as it’s rapidly maturing.
