| 19 | | * 14h00-15h00 Thomas Horstmeyer and Rita Loogen (Philipps-Universität Marburg), '''Parallel Functional Programming in Eden'''[[BR]]Eden 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 processes. The latter are performed by the parallel runtime system through implicit communication channels, transparent to the programmer. Common and sophisticated parallel communication patterns and topologies, so-called algorithmic skeletons, are provided as higher-order functions in a user-extensible skeleton library written in Eden. Eden is geared toward distributed settings, i.e.\ processes do not share any data, but can equally well be used on multicore systems. In the talk, we give an introduction into Eden's language constructs and its skeleton-based programming methodology. |
