Parallel Implementations of Functional Programming Languages

Parallel Implementations of Functional Languages

With interest in parallel implementations of functional languages as a whole, we first discuss some issues related to parallel execution of functional programs, and then review some key proposals considering three differents approaches, namely Parallel lisp Systems, Dataflow Systems and Reduction Systems.

Improving Parallel Implementations of Lazy Functional Languages Using Evaluation Transformers

This report outlines a parallel abstract machine for the implementation of a lazy functional core language. The evaluation transformer model of reduction [1] is used to control the evaluation process. An evaluator space containing parameterised evaluators for structured and polymorphic types is introduced. Using this framework it is possible to handle runtime information about evaluators for ar...

Comparing Parallel Functional Languages: Programming and Performance

This paper presents a practical evaluation and comparison of three state-of-the-art parallel functional languages. The evaluation is based on implementations of three typical symbolic computation programs, with performance measured on a Beowulf-class parallel architecture. ∗This work is primarily supported by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (APART fellowship 624), the Japan Society for the Pro...
