Are MPI bindings still the best way of using Haskell on Beowulf clusters? It's my feeling that the bindings stagnated, or are they just very mature?
MPI itself hasn't changed in 14 years, so it's not exactly a moving target. (There's an MPI 2.0, but its most visible changes are not really usable.) What's the story with distributed memory multiprocessing? Are Haskell
programmers uninterested in it, or are things other than MPI used with it?
The ratio of work to payoff is unfortunately very high, so it seems to have been abandoned as a topic of fruitful research.
