Data Parallel Haskell
Stc
Date: 2009-10-22 Time: 11:45 Room: BBL room 471 ----+++ Speaker: Erik Hesselink ----+++ Title: Data Parallel Haskell ----+++ Abstract Concurrent and parallel programming has become a hot topic, as multicore machines have become mainstream. Haskell is a promising starting point in this area, because of its purity and type system. These enable safe concurrency by default, and allows large program transformations. Data Parallel Haskell aims to provide the programmer with a high level interface of parallel arrays, giving performance competitive with hand-written C. In this talk, I will talk about the programmer's interface to Data Parallel Haskell, the implementation (which uses advanced Haskell techniques like type families and generic programming), performance and the current state of the project.
