Satnam,
Does anyone know of any other work on implicitly parallelizing functional programs for fine grain parallel execution?
The skeletons community implicitly replace higher-order functions with parallel implementations: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mic/Skeletons/ There's an excellent survey of parallel FP in Research Directions in Parallel Functional Programming, Hammond K. and Michaelson G. (Eds) Springer Verlag ISBN 1-85233-092-9 (2000). http://www-fp.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/pfpbook/
there is interesting work with pH at MIT.
Is anyone working on pH at the moment? Phil

The emergence of multi-core processors makes me think that we should look at implicit parallel functional programming in a new light.
At Brooklyn College, we are working on a version of Parallel Haskell that does not require PVM. Instead, we use Internet protocols and the Mosix patches to Linux.
