Re: [Haskell-cafe] Automatic parallelism in Haskell, similar to make -j4?

Excerpts from t.r.willingham's message of Sun Nov 02 17:28:08 -0600 2008: What would it take to implement a -j equivalent for, say, GHC? Or if this is not possible, what is wrong with my reasoning? Thanks, TW Hi, The main issue has to do with the decisions the compiler needs to make in

[Haskell-cafe] Automatic parallelism in Haskell, similar to make -j4?

I was surprised when I read the multi-core section of Real World Haskell which explains the use of par, seq, and force to achieve parallelism. While it's obvious a programmer could provide useful parallelism hints to the compiler, given the nature of the language I would have thought Haskell
