A toolkit for parallel functional programming

A toolkit for parallel functional programming

Several programs have been developed with the toolkit. A program that simulates tidal flow in an estuary of the North sea is presented as a case study to demonstrate the merits of the toolkit when developing complex parallel programs. The toolkit not only supports the design of parallel applications; it also allows the study of important concepts in parallel computer architecture. These include...

Conc-Trees for Functional and Parallel Programming Conc-Trees for Functional and Parallel Programming

Expressing parallel algorithms as functional programs has been a longstanding goal. This task is made easier through the use of proper sequence data structures, which allow splitting the data structure between the processors as easily as concatenating several data structures together. Efficient update, split and concatenation operations are essential for declarative-style parallel programs. Thi...

Parallel Functional Reactive Programming

In this paper, we demonstrate how Functional Reactive Programming (FRP), a framework for the description of interactive systems, can be extended to encompass parallel systems. FRP is based on Haskell, a purely functional programming language, and incorporates the concepts of time variation and reactivity. Parallel FRP serves as a declarative system model that may be transformed into a parallel ...
