Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell: Techniques for Multicore and Multithreaded Programming

If you have a working knowledge of Haskell,this hands-on book shows you how to use the language’s many APIs and frameworksfor writing both parallel and concurrent programs. You’ll learn how parallelismexploits multicore processors to speed up computation-heavy programs, and howconcurrency enables you to write programs with threads for multiple interactions.

Author Simon Marlow walks you through the process with lots of code examplesthat you can run, experiment with, and extend. Divided into separate sectionson Parallel and Concurrent Haskell, this book also includes exercises to helpyou become familiar with the concepts presented:

• Express parallelism in Haskell with the Eval monad and Evaluation Strategies
• Parallelize ordinary Haskell code with the Par monad
• Build parallel array-based computations, using the Repa library
• Use the Accelerate library to run computations directly on the GPU
• Work with basic interfaces for writing concurrent code
• Build trees of threads for larger and more complex programs
• Learn how to build high-speed concurrent network servers
• Write distributed programs that run on multiple machines in a network
