If you're looking for existing concurrency libraries, I would start here and explore backwards through the dependencies if you need a lower-level API: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/lifted-async-0.10.0.4/docs/Control-Concu...

Hi,

I'm starting to dip into Parallel Processing with Haskell while reading "Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell". All the Examples in the Book construct a program which is doing all the work, so with all files in the same program which has a main method.

I'd like to have a library which utilized parallel programming (mostly for map-reduce tasks).

Is this possible?

My first approach of putting the par-code in my library and running the program threaded does not seem to use multiple cores. Also I have not seen any parallel programming in "popular" libraries (such as QuickCheck) which makes me think that I'm on the wrong path.

To summarize my goal: I want to build a computation-intensive library, which utilizes multiple cores when used from an executable.

Thank you Leonhard _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beginners
