RE: [Haskell-cafe] transparent parallelization

2007-09-19 Thread Tim Harris (RESEARCH)
The problem with Haskell is not finding opportunities to parallelize, they are legion. Actually, quite the opposite, there's so much that your code ends up slower than a sequential realization. The hard part is making a good cost-model and a good way to create coarser chunks of work. It's

Hi there. Beeing rather new to the realm of Haskell and functional programming, I've been reading about how is easier it is to parallelize code in a purely functional language (am I right saying that ?). My knowledge of parallelization is also very weak, but I've been thinking about this and I

http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Data_Parallel_Haskell Wow this is cool stuff! It would be nice to have something like this for the Playstation 3 :-) Regarding parallelism, I wander how this extension will compare to Sun's Fortress language, if/when it gets finally released. Peter

If I recall correctly a rather neat way of exploiting this property of qsort is exploited with Nested Data Parallelism and covered in this talk: http://www.londonhug.net/2007/05/25/video-of-spjs-talk-is-now-online/ Good food for thought :) Dave, On 18/09/2007, Thomas Girod [EMAIL PROTECTED]
