by Don Stewart Haskell is a functional language built for
parallel and concurrent programming. You can take an off-the-
shelf copy of GHC and write high performance parallel programs
right now. This tutorial will teach you how to exploit
parallelism through Haskell on your commodity multicore machine,
to make your code faster. We will introduce key parallel
programming models, as implemented in Haskell, including: and
look at how to build faster programs using these abstractions.
We will also look at the engineering considerations when writing
parallel programs, and the tools Haskell provides for debugging
and reasoning about parallel programs. This is a hands on
tutorial session: bring your laptops, there will be code!
