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

I'm trying to find out about existing work on implicit parallel functional programming. I see that the Glasgow Haskell compiler has a parallel mode which can be used with PVM and there is interesting work with pH at MIT. Does anyone know of any other work on implicitly parallelizing functional programs for fine grain parallel execution?

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.
