چکیده

The explicitly parallel programming language Eden adds a coordination level to the lazy functional language Haskell. This paper describes how a compiler and runtime system for Eden can incrementally be built on the basis of a compiler and runtime system for the computation language. The modiications needed in the compiler are restricted to speciic orthogonal extensions. We show that Eden's design for distributed memory systems proves beneecial for the construction of a lean parallel runtime system.

Building an Interface Between Eden and Maple: A Way of Parallelizing Computer Algebra Algorithms

Eden is a parallel functional language extending Haskell with processes. This paper describes the implementation of an interface between the Eden language and the Maple system. The aim of this effort is to parallelize Maple programs by using Eden as coordination language. The idea is to leave in Maple the computational intensive functions of the (sequential) algorithm and to use Eden skeletons ...

Parallel functional programming in Eden

Eden extends the non-strict functional language Haskell with constructs to control parallel evaluation of processes. Although processes are defined explicitly, communication and synchronisation issues are handled in a way transparent to the programmer. In order to offer effective support for parallel evaluation, Eden’s coordination constructs override the inherently sequential demand-driven (la...

Parallel Coordination Made Explicit in a Functional Setting

We present a low-level coordination language for Haskell which can be used as an implementation language for parallel Haskell extensions. It has been developed in the context of the latest Eden implementation (based on the Glasgow-Haskell-Compiler, GHC, version 6) and it is thus referred to as the “EDen Implementation language”, EDI. EDI provides a small set of directly implemented primitive op...

We describe PARADISE (PARAllel DIstribution Simulator for Eden) a simulator developed to proole the execution of programs written in the parallel functional programming language Eden BLOMP96], BLOMP97]. Eden extends the lazy functional language Haskell by syntactic constructs to explicitly deene processes. Paradise is a substantial modiication of GranSim HLP94], Loi96], Loi98], a tool to study ...

Eden - Parallel Functional Programming with Haskell

Eden is a parallel functional programming language which extends Haskell with constructs for the definition and instantiation of parallel processes. Processes evaluate function applications remotely in parallel. The programmer has control over process granularity, data distribution, communication topology, and evaluation site, but need not manage synchronisation and data exchange between proces...
