SUMMARY:How is Haskell tackling the multicore problem? - Dr Simon Marlow (

DESCRIPTION:Our computers are getting wider\, not faster. Nowadays\, to ma
 ke our programs more efficient\, we have to make them use more processors.
  Haskell is at the leading edge of research into parallel programming lang
 uages\, 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).\n\nAdmission 
 free to CUCaTS members\, £2 otherwise. Membership may also be bought at t
 he door. As usual refreshments will be served 15 minutes before the start 
 of the talk.
LOCATION: Centre for Mathematical Sciences\, Meeting Room 5 (centre buildi
