Duncan I don't know quite what the status of GPH, the parallel version of GHC, is. But there's a bunch of peopl who do, at gph@cee.hw.ac.uk. (eg. Phil Trinder, Hans Loidl.) The home page is http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/gph/ I'm copying them, so they can reply directly.

I've read that someone is working on | porting ghc's parallel features to an MPI implementation and | also that someone recently got the alpha port working again. | | In case you don't know a T3E is a distributed memory alpha | based super-computer. It supports MPI & pthreads. | | So my question is, what is the state of the art? What is the | state of the MPI port? Does the alpha port work sufficiently | well. One potential problem I can see is that I'm not sure | gcc is avaliable on the T3E and I'm not sure how dependant | ghc is upon the various GNU C extensions. | | So, if I can get an account, I'll have untill the end of | September to test anything anyone can give me. | | You know they still program these machines in C, C++ & | Fortran. Shocking! | ;-) | | Duncan | | | _______________________________________________ | Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list | Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org | http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-| haskell-users |
