Abstract
Our computers are getting wider, not faster. Nowadays, to make our programs more efficient, we have to make them use more processors. Haskell is at the leading edge of research into parallel programming languages, and I’d like to use this talk to explore some of the ways in which we’re making it easier to program parallel computers. The talk will cover two areas: parallel programming models (what the programmer writes), and runtime technology (how the system implements parallelism).
Admission free to CUCaTS members, ÂŖ2 otherwise. Membership may also be bought at the door. As usual refreshments will be served 15 minutes before the start of the talk.
Series This talk is part of the Cambridge University Computing and Technology Society (CUCaTS) series.
