Glasgow Distributed Haskell
Is anyone using GdH? Can someone tell me why it's not part of the GHC distribution? It seems that GdH is not being developed anymore and I think it's a real pity! Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/

ghc sources are open, so anyone can build his own GHC extension. GHC team can't support all these extended GHC versions btw, may be the following can help you: http://www.inf.ufes.br/~ffranzosi/BSPHlib-0.1.tar.gz -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com

Thanks Bulat. I don't know what this is, though, and the link is broken. -- http://wagerlabs.com/
GdH is maintained and distributed by Phil Trinder and his colleagues at Heriot Watt. I think it's still alive, but it's based on a much earlier version of GHC. If it's parallelism you're after, GHC (as distributed) runs on shared-memory multi-processors. But we don't have anything like GdH or GpH, which work on distributed-memory machines, yet.

I wonder how much work would it be to integrate it. Also, their servers are down for some reason, I can't open http:// www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/gdh/.

I'm after Erlang in Haskell, if you will, for fault-tolerance and scalability. Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/
