Parallel and concurrent programming

The libraries in this subsection are as follows:

  • Control.Concurrent (base): The basic concurrency primitives
  • parallel: Primitive parallel programming and parallel evaluation strategies
  • monad-par: Provides the Par and ParIO monads for simple pure and IO parallel programming
  • abstract-par, monad-par-extras: Add-on libraries to monad-par, that add extra combinators and a further abstraction layer over different Par implementations
  • repa: Data-parallel arrays

Parallel programming and the use and features of libraries parallel and monad-par is considered in Chapter 5, Parallelize for Performance. The RePa library is also featured in that chapter.

In short, the parallel library is used to express parallelism deterministically, ...
