Towards Improving Skeletons in Eden

Functional Skeletons Generate Process Topologies in Eden

We present a collection of skeletons that are appropriate to instantiate process systems in the functional-concurrent language Eden BLOM96]. Eden is a functional language providing facilities for the explicit deenition and instantiation of processes. Skeletons in this language are just higher order functions having process deenitions as parameters. We introduce skeletons for both transformation...

Implementation Skeletons in Eden : Low - E ort Parallel Programming ?

Eden - Parallel Functional Programming with Haskell

Eden is a parallel functional programming language which extends Haskell with constructs for the definition and instantiation of parallel processes. Processes evaluate function applications remotely in parallel. The programmer has control over process granularity, data distribution, communication topology, and evaluation site, but need not manage synchronisation and data exchange between proces...

The Impact of Dynamic Channels on Functional Topology Skeletons

Parallel functional programs with implicit communication often generate purely hierarchical communication topologies during execution: communication only happens between parent and child processes. Messages between siblings must be passed via the parent. This causes inefficiencies that can be avoided by enabling direct communication between arbitrary processes. The Eden parallel functional lang...

Building an Interface Between Eden and Maple: A Way of Parallelizing Computer Algebra Algorithms

Eden is a parallel functional language extending Haskell with processes. This paper describes the implementation of an interface between the Eden language and the Maple system. The aim of this effort is to parallelize Maple programs by using Eden as coordination language. The idea is to leave in Maple the computational intensive functions of the (sequential) algorithm and to use Eden skeletons ...
