Haskell and Parallelism: Why?
•
Language reasons:
–
Purity, laziness and types mean youcan find more parallelism in your code
–
No specified execution order
–
Speculation and parallelism safe.
•
Purity provides inherently more parallelism
•
High level: more productivity than say, C++

Haskell and Parallelism
•
Statically typed and heavily optimized: moreperformance than, say, Python or Erlang.
•
Custom multicore runtime: highperformance threads a primary concern –thanks Simon Marlow!
•
Mature: 20 year code base, long termindustrial use, massive library system
•
Demonstrated performance
