[Haskell-cafe] Re: Paralelism and Distribution in Haskell

Haskell is still by far one of the best languages to deal with concurrency/parallelism.

Sure, I fully agree. I am using concurrency (with explicit forkIO, communication via Chan) a lot (my Haskell application controls several external constraint solvers). For parallelism, I'm just missing some benchmark code that I can run on my machine (i7 CPU, GTX 295 GPU, ghc-6.12.3) more or less "out-of-the-box" and that will impress my students and myself. (That is, get a speed-up of 8, or 480, without the program looking 8 times (or 480 times) more ugly...) - Johannes.
