[[Category:Performance|Data types]]<br />
== Newtypes ==<br />
<br />
If your datatype has a single constructor with a single field, use a <tt>newtype</tt> declaration instead of a <tt>data</tt> declaration. The <tt>newtype</tt> constructor will be optimised away.<br />
<br />
In fact, <tt>newtypes</tt> cost nothing, so they can be used to document your code for free.<br />
<br />
== Strict fields ==<br />
<br />
The strictness annotation on constructor fields is used mainly to avoid space leaks. eg. in:<br />
<br />
data T = T !Int !Int<br />
<br />
we know that neither component of the <tt>T</tt> constructor can harbour a space leak, because both components must be fully evaluated to <tt>Int</tt>s when the constructor is built.<br />
<br />
However, bear in mind that strictness annotations can make performance ''worse''. A strictness annotation forces the compiler to ensure that the field is fully evaluated before building the constructor, and if it turns out that the field was already evaluated then this is just wasted work. Clever compilers attempt to detect when this is the case and optimise away the wasted evaluation, but it is hard to do this well (GHC does a poor job, currently).<br />
<br />
== GHC-specific techniques ==<br />
<br />
=== Single-constructor datatypes ===<br />
<br />
GHC loves single-constructor datatypes, such as tuples. A single-constructor datatype can be ''unpacked'' when it is passed to a strict function. For example, given this function:<br />
<br />
f (x,y) = ...<br />
<br />
GHC's strictness analyser will detect that f is strict in its argument, and compile the function like this:<br />
<br />
f z = case z of (x,y) -> f' x y<br />
f' x y = ...<br />
<br />
where f is called the ''wrapper'', and f' is called the ''worker''. The wrapper is inlined everywhere, so for example if you had a call to f like this:<br />
<br />
... f (3,4) ...<br />
<br />
this will end up being compiled to<br />
<br />
... f' 3 4 ...<br />
<br />
and the tuple has been completely optimised away. <br />
<br />
This ''only happens when the function argument is a single-constructor type''. Note that basic types like <tt>Int</tt> and <tt>Char</tt> count as single-constructor types, but not <tt>Integer</tt> and <tt>Bool</tt>.<br />
<br />
=== Unpacking strict fields ===<br />
<br />
This is one of the most powerful techniques you can use to optimise data structures When a constructor field is marked strict, and it is a single-constructor type, then it is possible to ask GHC to unpack the contents of the field directly in its parent. For example, given this:<br />
<br />
data T = T {-# UNPACK #-} !(Int,Float)<br />
<br />
GHC will represent the type T like this:<br />
<br />
data T = T Int Float<br />
<br />
eliminating the tuple. This is commonly used to put unboxed Ints directly in a constructor:<br />
<br />
data T = T {-# UNPACK #-} !Int<br />
<br />
will be represented as<br />
<br />
data T = T Int#<br />
<br />
where Int# is the unboxed integer type. You don't have to mention Int# in your program - just putting the {-# UNPACK #-} directive on the field is enough to tell GHC that this is the representation you want, and GHC will eliminate the boxing. The same result can be achieved without explicit UNPACK pragmas by using the ''-funbox-strict-fields'' optimisation.<br />
<br />
Note that {-# UNPACK #-} isn't the default, for the reason that it isn't always a good idea. If there is a pattern match on a constructor with an unpacked field, and the value of that field is passed to a non-strict function, GHC has to re-box the value before passing it on. If this re-boxing is common, then unpacking can be slower than not unpacking. The effect can be more acute if the type being unpacked has a lot of components (eg. a 17-tuple).<br />
<br />
For more information, see [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/pragmas.html#unpack-pragma The UNPACK pragma] in GHC's User Guide.<br />
<br />
=== Enumerations ===<br />
<br />
Enumerations don't count as single-constructor types as far as GHC is concerned, so they don't benefit from unpacking when used as strict constructor fields, or strict function arguments. This is a deficiency in GHC, but it can be worked around - These restrictions are being worked on in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/UnpackedSumTypes which will allow sum-types including "enums" to be unpacked and remove the need for the following solution once released.<br />
<br />
One way to work around it is to declare your enumeration as an int-like type, instead of the usual enumeration type. For example, if you have<br />
<br />
data Color = Red | Blue | Black<br />
<br />
you could write<br />
<br />
newtype Color = Color Int deriving (Eq,Ord,Enum)<br />
(red:blue:black:_) = [Color 1 ..]<br />
<br />
and now Color is a single-constructor unpackable datatype. However, we lose pattern matching; instead of<br />
<br />
f Red = ...<br />
<br />
we have to write<br />
<br />
f color | color == red = ...<br />
<br />
There's no performance penalty for this, though.<br />
<br />
Also, you have to hide the representation of Color appropriately so that invalid values can't be constructed (<tt>Color 99</tt>).</div>Axman6https://wiki.haskell.org/index.php?title=AusHac2012&diff=46129AusHac20122012-06-20T11:09:41Z<p>Axman6: Added projects section</p>

It's about a 10 minute bus ride from Coogee Beach to UNSW. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
For something a bit further out, you could also try one of the [http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/search/region.cfm?regionid=62 Sydney YHA hostels].

<div>==Introductions to Haskell==<br />
<br />
These are the recommended places to start learning, short of buying a textbook.<br />
<br />
=== Best places to start ===<br />
<br />
;[http://learnyouahaskell.com Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! (LYAH)]<br />
: Nicely illustrated tutorial showing Haskell concepts while interacting in GHCi. Written and drawn by Miran Lipovača.<br />
<br />
;[http://book.realworldhaskell.org/ Real World Haskell (RWH)]<br />
: A free online version of the complete book, with numerous reader-submitted comments. RWH is best suited for people who know the fundamentals of haskell already, and can write basic Haskell programs themselves already. It makes a great follow up after finishing LYAH. It can easily be read cover-to-cover, or you can focus on the chapters that interest you most, or when you find an idea you don't yet understand.<br />
<br />

;[http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Write_Yourself_a_Scheme_in_48_Hours Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours in Haskell]<br />
:A Haskell Tutorial, by Jonathan Tang. Most Haskell tutorials on the web seem to take a language-reference-manual approach to teaching. They show you the syntax of the language, a few language constructs, and then have you construct a few simple functions at the interactive prompt. The "hard stuff" of how to write a functioning, useful program is left to the end, or sometimes omitted entirely. This tutorial takes a different tack. You'll start off with command-line arguments and parsing, and progress to writing a fully-functional Scheme interpreter that implements a good-sized subset of R5RS Scheme. Along the way, you'll learn Haskell's I/O, mutable state, dynamic typing, error handling, and parsing features. By the time you finish, you should be fairly fluent in both Haskell and Scheme.<br />
<br />
;[http://acm.wustl.edu/functional/haskell.php How to Learn Haskell]<br />

:By Eric Etheridge. From the intro: "This tutorial assumes that the reader is familiar with C/C++, Python, Java, or Pascal. I am writing for you because it seems that no other tutorial was written to help students overcome the difficulty of moving from C/C++, Java, and the like to Haskell."<br />
<br />
;[http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/os-dw-linuxhask-i.html Beginning Haskell] <br />

;[http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk/pubs/1997/208/index.html Where do I begin? A problem solving approach to teaching functional programming]<br />
:By [http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk/people/staff/sjt/index.html Simon Thompson]. In Krzysztof Apt, Pieter Hartel, and Paul Klint, editors, First International Conference on Declarative Programming Languages in Education. Springer-Verlag, September 1997. <br> <STRONG>Abstract:</STRONG> This paper introduces a problem solving method for teaching functional programming, based on Polya's `How To Solve It', an introductory investigation of mathematical method. We first present the language independent version, and then show in particular how it applies to the development of programs in Haskell. The method is illustrated by a sequence of examples and a larger case study. <br />

Hartel and Rinus Plasmeijer, editors, Functional Programming Languages in Education, LNCS 1022, pages 85-102. Springer-Verlag, December 1995. <br> <STRONG>Abstract:</STRONG> This paper discusses our experience in using a functional language in topics across the computer science curriculum. After examining the arguments for taking a functional approach, we look in detail at four case studies from different areas: programming language semantics, machine architectures, graphics and formal languages. <br />
<br />
;[http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/CK02a.html The Risks and Benefits of Teaching Purely Functional Programming in First Year]<br />
:By [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak Manuel M. T. Chakravarty] and [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~keller Gabriele Keller]. Journal of Functional Programming 14(1), pp 113-123, 2004. An earlier version of this paper was presented at Functional and Declarative Programming in Education (FDPE02). <br> <strong>Abstract</strong> We argue that teaching purely functional programming as such in freshman courses is detrimental to both the curriculum as well as to promoting the paradigm. Instead, we need to focus on the more general aims of teaching elementary techniques of programming and essential concepts of computing. We support this viewpoint with experience gained during several semesters of teaching large first-year classes (up to 600 students) in Haskell. These classes consisted of computer science students as well as students from other disciplines. We have systematically gathered student feedback by conducting surveys after each semester. This article contributes an approach to the use of modern functional languages in first year courses and, based on this, advocates the use of functional languages in this setting.<br />

;[http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Write_Yourself_a_Scheme_in_48_Hours Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours in Haskell]<br />
:A Haskell Tutorial, by Jonathan Tang. Most Haskell tutorials on the web seem to take a language-reference-manual approach to teaching. They show you the syntax of the language, a few language constructs, and then have you construct a few simple functions at the interactive prompt. The "hard stuff" of how to write a functioning, useful program is left to the end, or sometimes omitted entirely. This tutorial takes a different tack. You'll start off with command-line arguments and parsing, and progress to writing a fully-functional Scheme interpreter that implements a good-sized subset of R5RS Scheme. Along the way, you'll learn Haskell's I/O, mutable state, dynamic typing, error handling, and parsing features. By the time you finish, you should be fairly fluent in both Haskell and Scheme.<br />

An earlier version of this paper was presented at Functional and Declarative Programming in Education (FDPE02). <br> <strong>Abstract</strong> We argue that teaching purely functional programming as such in freshman courses is detrimental to both the curriculum as well as to promoting the paradigm. Instead, we need to focus on the more general aims of teaching elementary techniques of programming and essential concepts of computing. We support this viewpoint with experience gained during several semesters of teaching large first-year classes (up to 600 students) in Haskell. These classes consisted of computer science students as well as students from other disciplines. We have systematically gathered student feedback by conducting surveys after each semester. This article contributes an approach to the use of modern functional languages in first year courses and, based on this, advocates the use of functional languages in this setting.<br />

;[http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Write_Yourself_a_Scheme_in_48_Hours Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours in Haskell]<br />
:A Haskell Tutorial, by Jonathan Tang. Most Haskell tutorials on the web seem to take a language-reference-manual approach to teaching. They show you the syntax of the language, a few language constructs, and then have you construct a few simple functions at the interactive prompt. The "hard stuff" of how to write a functioning, useful program is left to the end, or sometimes omitted entirely. This tutorial takes a different tack. You'll start off with command-line arguments and parsing, and progress to writing a fully-functional Scheme interpreter that implements a good-sized subset of R5RS Scheme. Along the way, you'll learn Haskell's I/O, mutable state, dynamic typing, error handling, and parsing features. By the time you finish, you should be fairly fluent in both Haskell and Scheme.<br />

An earlier version of this paper was presented at Functional and Declarative Programming in Education (FDPE02). <br> <strong>Abstract</strong> We argue that teaching purely functional programming as such in freshman courses is detrimental to both the curriculum as well as to promoting the paradigm. Instead, we need to focus on the more general aims of teaching elementary techniques of programming and essential concepts of computing. We support this viewpoint with experience gained during several semesters of teaching large first-year classes (up to 600 students) in Haskell. These classes consisted of computer science students as well as students from other disciplines. We have systematically gathered student feedback by conducting surveys after each semester. This article contributes an approach to the use of modern functional languages in first year courses and, based on this, advocates the use of functional languages in this setting.<br />

Here we give a brief description of the trivial monad, each kind of extension, and sketches of some interesting operations that each monad supports.<br />

=== Possible Projects ===<br />
<br />
====Generic graph class====<br />
'''What:''' I (Ivan) last year floated the idea of replacing the current default array-based Graph data type with an extensible set of classes with default instances. There's various interest about this around and I've done some work on it, but if there's anyone else coming it'd be better to bounce ideas together about how to define such classes.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M<br />
<br />
====Gloss-based plots====<br />
'''What:''' Either an alternative graphing back end to Criterion that only relies on OpenGL (through the use of Gloss), or a library for plotting. At the moment Gloss looks like it may only be suitable for bar type graphs, but we'll see. (We may look into writing some other library that's better suited than Gloss, as Gloss is aimed at students learning haskell, and wanting to just get something drawn)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M, Alex M<br />
<br />
====GHC LLVM backend====<br />
'''What:''' The recent work dome by David Terei on an LLVM backend for GHC has shown some fantastic results, and getting it to a point where it could become the default GHC backend is something a lot of people would really like to see.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Alex M, Manuel, Erik<br />
<br />
====Accelerate====<br />
'''What:''' [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate Accelerate] is a Haskell EDSL for regular array computations. The aim is to make it generate so blindingly fast code that the C folks start to cry. An LLVM backend is in very early stages of development and a CUDA GPU backend is good enough to run some first small Accelerate programs.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Manuel, Alex M<br />
<br />
====Repa====<br />
'''What:''' "Regular, shape-polymorphic, parallel arrays in Haskell", a library for array computations using regular arrays, which aims to produce very efficient code which can be easily and automatically parallelised, producing very high performance computations on multicore systems. ([http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/repa.pdf PDF])<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Alex M<br />
<br />
====Hubris====<br />
'''What:''' [http://github.com/mwotton/hubris Hubris] is a bridge between Ruby and Haskell. There are two main options - working on Hubris itself (adding instances for more data types, making it easier to install, chasing the 64-bit linking bug...) or actually building something cool with it. Open to either. (Oh, one other idea - using Hubris to export QuickCheck to Ruby directly. RushCheck looks a bit moribund these days...)<br />

Goal for 1.0 is mainly to fix issues in 0.8 rather than add new features, but it would also be nice to make some more progress on replacing GtkSourceView with Yi.

<br />
'''Who:''' Hamish, Jens<br />
<br />
====MPI bindings====<br />
'''What:''' The Message Passing Interface [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface MPI] is a popular library/standard used in distributed high performance computing systems . An [http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/hmpi/ old Haskell binding] exists, but has suffered severe bit rot. It would be nice to get this working again, and then try to build some nicer abstractions on top (such as mapReduce).<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Bernie, Alex<br />
<br />
==== Notification library ====<br />
'''What:''' write a library for use with libnotify, growl, etc. (note that there is already fdo-notify and GrowlNotify, so this project isn't very original; however, a wrapper library might be nice).<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan<br />
<br />
==== Library re-builder ====<br />
'''What:''' extend [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskell-updater haskell-updater] to use with cabal-install, Arch, etc.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan (willing to help out if anyone else is interested; is not planning on doing the conversions himself)<br />
<br />
== Accommodation ==<br />
<br />
=== Hostels ===<br />
If you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay near UNSW then there are a [http://www.hostelworld.com/hostels/Sydney/Coogee few back-packers in Coogee].<br />
It's about a 10 minute bus ride from Coogee Beach to UNSW. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
For something a bit further out, you could also try one of the [http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/search/region.cfm?regionid=62 Sydney YHA hostels]. The Glebe one is walking distance to Darling Harbour, though it takes about 50 min to get to UNSW via light rail then bus. Private rooms with shared facilities are about AUD$80. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
If you want to say across the road from Central station, and don't mind hanging out with English gap-year kids, then you try [http://www.wakeup.com.au/ WakeUp].<br />
<br />
If you like to party then [http://www.evasbackpackers.com.au/ Evas Backpackers] is a short stumble home from Kings Cross. <br />
<br />
I'd avoid [http://www.sydneycentralonwentworth.com.au/ SydneyCentralOnWentworth]. It has a pretty website but the rooms are small and dingy (benl23 stayed there in 2009)<br />
<br />
Note that hostels tend to be busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, so it's good to book early.<br />
<br />
=== Colleges ===<br />
For something more up-market you could try one of [http://www.housing.unsw.edu.au/housing/short_term/short_term.php?p=overview the UNSW residential Colleges]. This site also has more links to hotels and hostels.<br />
<br />
=== Hotels ===<br />
If you have AUD$120 - 150 per night and aren't organised then [http://www.lastminute.com.au/hotels.html LastMinute] is a good place to find a hotel. You get the best prices if you book 2-3 days in advance.<br />

== Accommodation ==<br />
<br />
=== Hostels ===<br />
If you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay near UNSW then there are a [http://www.hostelworld.com/hostels/Sydney/Coogee few back-packers in Coogee].<br />
It's about a 10 minute bus ride from Coogee Beach to UNSW. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
For something a bit further out, you could also try one of the [http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/search/region.cfm?regionid=62 Sydney YHA hostels]. The Glebe one is walking distance to Darling Harbour, though it takes about 50 min to get to UNSW via light rail then bus. Private rooms with shared facilities are about AUD$80. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
If you want to say across the road from Central station, and don't mind hanging out with English gap-year kids, then you try [http://www.wakeup.com.au/ WakeUp].<br />
<br />
If you like to party then [http://www.evasbackpackers.com.au/ Evas Backpackers] is a short stumble home from Kings Cross. <br />
<br />
I'd avoid [http://www.sydneycentralonwentworth.com.au/ SydneyCentralOnWentworth]. It has a pretty website but the rooms are small and dingy (benl23 stayed there in 2009)<br />
<br />
Note that hostels tend to be busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, so it's good to book early.<br />
<br />
=== Colleges ===<br />
For something more up-market you could try one of [http://www.housing.unsw.edu.au/housing/short_term/short_term.php?p=overview the UNSW residential Colleges]. This site also has more links to hotels and hostels.<br />
<br />
=== Hotels ===<br />
If you have AUD$120 - 150 per night and aren't organised then [http://www.lastminute.com.au/hotels.html LastMinute] is a good place to find a hotel. You get the best prices if you book 2-3 days in advance.<br />

<br />
Because we miss out on all the fun they have up north, and we've got something to offer. It's also a great chance to meet all these people you talk to on IRC, or read their blogs, and just have a good time, while getting some (potentially) useful work done!<br />

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
=== Possible Projects ===<br />
<br />
====Generic graph class====<br />
'''What:''' I (Ivan) last year floated the idea of replacing the current default array-based Graph data type with an extensible set of classes with default instances. There's various interest about this around and I've done some work on it, but if there's anyone else coming it'd be better to bounce ideas together about how to define such classes.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M<br />
<br />
====Gloss-based plots====<br />
'''What:''' Either an alternative graphing back end to Criterion that only relies on OpenGL (through the use of Gloss), or a library for plotting. At the moment Gloss looks like it may only be suitable for bar type graphs, but we'll see. (We may look into writing some other library that's better suited than Gloss, as Gloss is aimed at students learning haskell, and wanting to just get something drawn)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M, Alex M<br />
<br />
====GHC LLVM backend====<br />
'''What:''' The recent work dome by David Terei on an LLVM backend for GHC has shown some fantastic results, and getting it to a point where it could become the default GHC backend is something a lot of people would really like to see.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Alex M, Manuel, Erik<br />
<br />
====Accelerate====<br />
'''What:''' [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate Accelerate] is a Haskell EDSL for regular array computations. The aim is to make it generate so blindingly fast code that the C folks start to cry. An LLVM backend is in very early stages of development and a CUDA GPU backend is good enough to run some first small Accelerate programs.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Manuel, Alex M<br />
<br />
====Repa====<br />
'''What:''' "Regular, shape-polymorphic, parallel arrays in Haskell", a library for array computations using regular arrays, which aims to produce very efficient code which can be easily and automatically parallelised, producing very high performance computations on multicore systems. ([http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/repa.pdf PDF])<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Alex M<br />
<br />
====Hubris====<br />
'''What:''' [http://github.com/mwotton/hubris Hubris] is a bridge between Ruby and Haskell. There are two main options - working on Hubris itself (adding instances for more data types, making it easier to install, chasing the 64-bit linking bug...) or actually building something cool with it. Open to either. (Oh, one other idea - using Hubris to export QuickCheck to Ruby directly. RushCheck looks a bit moribund these days...)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Mark<br />
<br />
====Leksah====<br />
'''What:''' [http://leksah.org/ Leksah] is a Haskell IDE written in Haskell. Goal for 1.0 is mainly to fix issues in 0.8 rather than add new features, but it would also be nice to make some more progress on replacing GtkSourceView with Yi. Support for running QuickCheck and HUnit may be something we could slip into 1.0.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Hamish, Jens<br />
<br />
====MPI bindings====<br />
'''What:''' The Message Passing Interface [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface MPI] is a popular library/standard used in distributed high performance computing systems . An [http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/hmpi/ old Haskell binding] exists, but has suffered severe bit rot. It would be nice to get this working again, and then try to build some nicer abstractions on top (such as mapReduce).<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Bernie<br />
<br />
==== Notification library ====<br />
'''What:''' write a library for use with libnotify, growl, etc. (note that there is already fdo-notify and GrowlNotify, so this project isn't very original; however, a wrapper library might be nice).<br />

<br />
'''Who:''' Hamish, Jens<br />
<br />
====MPI bindings====<br />
'''What:''' The Message Passing Interface [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface MPI] is a popular library/standard used in distributed high performance computing systems . An [http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/hmpi/ old Haskell binding] exists, but has suffered severe bit rot. It would be nice to get this working again, and then try to build some nicer abstractions on top (such as mapReduce).<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Bernie<br />
<br />
==== Notification library ====<br />
'''What:''' write a library for use with libnotify, growl, etc. (note that there is already fdo-notify and GrowlNotify, so this project isn't very original; however, a wrapper library might be nice).<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan<br />

== Accommodation ==<br />
<br />
=== Hostels ===<br />
If you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay near UNSW then there are a [http://www.hostelworld.com/hostels/Sydney/Coogee few back-packers in Coogee].<br />
It's about a 10 minute bus ride from Coogee Beach to UNSW. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
For something a bit further out, you could also try one of the [http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/search/region.cfm?regionid=62 Sydney YHA hostels]. The Glebe one is walking distance to Darling Harbour, though it takes about 50 min to get to UNSW via light rail then bus. Private rooms with shared facilities are about AUD$80. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
If you want to say across the road from Central station, and don't mind hanging out with English gap-year kids, then you try [http://www.wakeup.com.au/ WakeUp].<br />
<br />
If you like to party then [http://www.evasbackpackers.com.au/ Evas Backpackers] is a short stumble home from Kings Cross. <br />
<br />
I'd avoid [http://www.sydneycentralonwentworth.com.au/ SydneyCentralOnWentworth]. It has a pretty website but the rooms are small and dingy (benl23 stayed there in 2009)<br />
<br />
Note that hostels tend to be busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, so it's good to book early.<br />
<br />
=== Colleges ===<br />
For something more up-market you could try one of [http://www.housing.unsw.edu.au/housing/short_term/short_term.php?p=overview the UNSW residential Colleges]. This site also has more links to hotels and hostels.<br />
<br />
=== Hotels ===<br />
If you have AUD$120 - 150 per night and aren't organised then [http://www.lastminute.com.au/hotels.html LastMinute] is a good place to find a hotel. You get the best prices if you book 2-3 days in advance.<br />

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
=== Possible Projects ===<br />
<br />
====Generic graph class====<br />
'''What:''' I (Ivan) last year floated the idea of replacing the current default array-based Graph data type with an extensible set of classes with default instances. There's various interest about this around and I've done some work on it, but if there's anyone else coming it'd be better to bounce ideas together about how to define such classes.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M<br />
<br />
====Gloss-based plots====<br />
'''What:''' Either an alternative graphing back end to Criterion that only relies on OpenGL (through the use of Gloss), or a library for plotting. At the moment Gloss looks like it may only be suitable for bar type graphs, but we'll see. (We may look into writing some other library that's better suited than Gloss, as Gloss is aimed at students learning haskell, and wanting to just get something drawn)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M, Alex M<br />
<br />
====GHC LLVM backend====<br />
'''What:''' The recent work dome by David Terei on an LLVM backend for GHC has shown some fantastic results, and getting it to a point where it could become the default GHC backend is something a lot of people would really like to see.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Alex M, Manuel, Erik<br />
<br />
====Accelerate====<br />
'''What:''' [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate Accelerate] is a Haskell EDSL for regular array computations. The aim is to make it generate so blindingly fast code that the C folks start to cry. An LLVM backend is in very early stages of development and a CUDA GPU backend is good enough to run some first small Accelerate programs.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Manuel, Alex M<br />
<br />
====Hubris====<br />
'''What:''' [http://github.com/mwotton/hubris Hubris] is a bridge between Ruby and Haskell. There are two main options - working on Hubris itself (adding instances for more data types, making it easier to install, chasing the 64-bit linking bug...) or actually building something cool with it. Open to either. (Oh, one other idea - using Hubris to export QuickCheck to Ruby directly. RushCheck looks a bit moribund these days...)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Mark<br />
<br />
====Leksah====<br />
'''What:''' [http://leksah.org/ Leksah] is a Haskell IDE written in Haskell. Goal for 1.0 is mainly to fix issues in 0.8 rather than add new features, but it would also be nice to make some more progress on replacing GtkSourceView with Yi. Support for running QuickCheck and HUnit may be something we could slip into 1.0.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Hamish, Jens<br />
<br />
====MPI bindings====<br />
'''What:''' The Message Passing Interface [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface MPI] is a popular library/standard used in distributed high performance computing systems . An [http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/hmpi/ old Haskell binding] exists, but has suffered severe bit rot.

'''What:''' The recent work dome by David Terei on an LLVM backend for GHC has shown some fantastic results, and getting it to a point where it could become the default GHC backend is something a lot of people would really like to see.<br />

'''Who:''' Alex M, Manuel, Erik<br />
<br />
====Accelerate====<br />
'''What:''' [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate Accelerate] is a Haskell EDSL for regular array computations. The aim is to make it generate so blindingly fast code that the C folks start to cry. An LLVM backend is in very early stages of development and a CUDA GPU backend is good enough to run some first small Accelerate programs.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Manuel, Alex M<br />
<br />
====Hubris====<br />
'''What:''' [http://github.com/mwotton/hubris Hubris] is a bridge between Ruby and Haskell. There are two main options - working on Hubris itself (adding instances for more data types, making it easier to install, chasing the 64-bit linking bug...) or actually building something cool with it. Open to either. (Oh, one other idea - using Hubris to export QuickCheck to Ruby directly. RushCheck looks a bit moribund these days...)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Mark<br />
<br />
====Leksah====<br />
'''What:''' [http://leksah.org/ Leksah] is a Haskell IDE written in Haskell. Goal for 1.0 is mainly to fix issues in 0.8 rather than add new features, but it would also be nice to make some more progress on replacing GtkSourceView with Yi. Support for running QuickCheck and HUnit may be something we could slip into 1.0.<br />

'''Who:''' Hamish, Jens<br />
<br />
====MPI bindings====<br />
'''What:''' The Message Passing Interface [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface MPI] is a popular library/standard used in distributed high performance computing systems . An [http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/hmpi/ old Haskell binding] exists, but has suffered severe bit rot.

== Accommodation ==<br />
<br />
=== Hostels ===<br />
If you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay near UNSW then there are a [http://www.hostelworld.com/hostels/Sydney/Coogee few back-packers in Coogee].<br />
It's about a 10 minute bus ride from Coogee Beach to UNSW. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
For something a bit further out, you could also try one of the [http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/search/region.cfm?regionid=62 Sydney YHA hostels]. The Glebe one is walking distance to Darling Harbour, though it takes about 50 min to get to UNSW via light rail then bus. Private rooms with shared facilities are about AUD$80. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
If you want to say across the road from Central station, and don't mind hanging out with English gap-year kids, then you try [http://www.wakeup.com.au/ WakeUp].<br />
<br />
If you like to party then [http://www.evasbackpackers.com.au/ Evas Backpackers] is a short stumble home from Kings Cross. <br />
<br />
I'd avoid [http://www.sydneycentralonwentworth.com.au/ SydneyCentralOnWentworth]. It has a pretty website but the rooms are small and dingy (benl23 stayed there in 2009)<br />
<br />
Note that hostels tend to be busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, so it's good to book early.<br />
<br />
=== Colleges ===<br />
For something more up-market you could try one of [http://www.housing.unsw.edu.au/housing/short_term/short_term.php?p=overview the UNSW residential Colleges]. This site also has more links to hotels and hostels.<br />
<br />
=== Hotels ===<br />
If you have AUD$120 - 150 per night and aren't organised then [http://www.lastminute.com.au/hotels.html LastMinute] is a good place to find a hotel. You get the best prices if you book 2-3 days in advance.<br />

<hr />
<div>If you've found this page, you use Haskell, ''and'' live in Australia (or at the very least able and willing to travel here), then you're in the right place! We're looking into organising a Haskell [[Hackathon]] some time during the middle of 2010, and this where it shall be organised.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in coming, '''please [http://axman6.wufoo.com/forms/aushac-2010-sign-up/ sign up]''', and put your name down on the list below, along with your IRC nickname if you're on #haskell. Also, if you've got something to discuss, feel free to add it to the bottom of the page in the Discussion section (just to keep the rest of the page clean and helpful).<br />
<br />
== What we've got so far ==<br />
<br />
===Why===<br />
<br />
Because we miss out on all the fun they have up north, and we've got something to offer. It's also a great chance to meet all these people you talk to on IRC, or read their blogs, and just have a good time, while getting some (potentially) useful work done!<br />
<br />
===When===<br />
<br />
A few dates have been discussed, mainly taking into account when the university holidays are for various universities:<br />
<br />
* ANU: 7 June -> 18 July<br />
* UNSW: 29 June -> 18 July<br />
<br />
So so far we need a weekend between the 28th of June and the 18th of July.<br />
<br />
We're looking at organising it over a weekend, and I (Axman6) would quite like to have it start on a Friday, ending on Sunday. This does not at all mean that those who can’t make the Friday will miss out, the more people we have, the better. But I think that having more time will mean that we can get more done (which is the point right?).<br />
<br />
===Where===<br />
<br />
Manuel Chakravarty and Ben Lippmeier have said there should be no problem finding a room at UNSW, with the only possible problem being Internet access for everyone, but hopefully something can be arranged by that time.<br />

====Generic graph class====<br />
'''What:''' I (Ivan) last year floated the idea of replacing the current default array-based Graph data type with an extensible set of classes with default instances.

'''Who:''' Mark<br />
<br />
====Leksah====<br />
'''What:''' [http://leksah.org/ Leksah] is a Haskell IDE written in Haskell. Goal for 1.0 is mainly to fix issues in 0.8 rather than add new features, but it would also be nice to make some more progress on replacing GtkSourceView with Yi. Support for running QuickCheck and HUnit may be something we could slip into 1.0.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Hamish, Jens<br />
<br />
====MPI bindings====<br />
'''What:''' The Message Passing Interface [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface MPI] is a popular library/standard used in distributed high performance computing systems . An [http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/hmpi/ old Haskell binding] exists, but has suffered severe bit rot. It would be nice to get this working again, and then try to build some nicer abstractions on top (such as mapReduce).<br />

=== Dates ===<br />
If you want to propose a date, add it to the list below.<br />
<br />
It has been proposed that we have the date set at the weekend of the 16th-18th of July. (I [Axman6] would prefer it to be a week earlier, because the 19th is the first day of uni at ANU and UNSW). <br />

== Accommodation ==<br />
<br />
=== Hostels ===<br />
If you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay near UNSW then there are a [http://www.hostelworld.com/hostels/Sydney/Coogee few back-packers in Coogee].<br />
It's about a 10 minute bus ride from Coogee Beach to UNSW. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
For something a bit further out, you could also try one of the [http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/search/region.cfm?regionid=62 Sydney YHA hostels]. The Glebe one is walking distance to Darling Harbour, though it takes about 50 min to get to UNSW via light rail then bus. Private rooms with shared facilities are about AUD$80. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
If you want to say across the road from Central station, and don't mind hanging out with English gap-year kids, then you try [http://www.wakeup.com.au/ WakeUp].<br />
<br />
If you like to party then [http://www.evasbackpackers.com.au/ Evas Backpackers] is a short stumble home from Kings Cross. <br />
<br />
I'd avoid [http://www.sydneycentralonwentworth.com.au/ SydneyCentralOnWentworth]. It has a pretty website but the rooms are small and dingy (benl23 stayed there in 2009)<br />
<br />
Note that hostels tend to be busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, so it's good to book early.<br />
<br />
=== Colleges ===<br />
For something more up-market you could try one of [http://www.housing.unsw.edu.au/housing/short_term/short_term.php?p=overview the UNSW residential Colleges]. This site also has more links to hotels and hostels.<br />
<br />
=== Hotels ===<br />
If you have AUD$120 - 150 per night and aren't organised then [http://www.lastminute.com.au/hotels.html LastMinute] is a good place to find a hotel. You get the best prices if you book 2-3 days in advance.<br />

<hr />
<div>If you've found this page, you use Haskell, ''and'' live in Australia (or at the very least able and willing to travel here), then you're in the right place! We're looking into organising a Haskell [[Hackathon]] some time during the middle of 2010, and this where it shall be organised.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in coming, '''please''' put your name down on the list below, along with your IRC nickname if you're on #haskell, and possibly your email (We'll use this to let you know of any progress we've made, but it's not mandatory). Also, if you've got something to discuss, feel free to add it to the bottom of the page in the Discussion section (just to keep the rest of the page clean and helpful).<br />
<br />
== What we've got so far ==<br />
<br />
===Why===<br />
<br />
Because we miss out on all the fun they have up north, and we've got something to offer. It's also a great chance to meet all these people you talk to on IRC, or read their blogs, and just have a good time, while getting some (potentially) useful work done!<br />
<br />
===When===<br />
<br />
A few dates have been discussed, mainly taking into account when the university holidays are for various universities:<br />
<br />
* ANU: 7 June -> 18 July<br />
* UNSW: 29 June -> 18 July<br />
<br />
So so far we need a weekend between the 28th of June and the 18th of July.<br />
<br />
We're looking at organising it over a weekend, and I (Axman6) would quite like to have it start on a Friday, ending on Sunday. This does not at all mean that those who can’t make the Friday will miss out, the more people we have, the better. But I think that having more time will mean that we can get more done (which is the point right?).<br />
<br />
===Where===<br />
<br />
Manuel Chakravarty and Ben Lippmeier have said there should be no problem finding a room at UNSW, with the only possible problem being Internet access for everyone, but hopefully something can be arranged by that time.<br />
<br />

=== Possible Projects ===<br />
<br />
====Generic graph class====<br />
'''What:''' I (Ivan) last year floated the idea of replacing the current default array-based Graph data type with an extensible set of classes with default instances. There's various interest about this around and I've done some work on it, but if there's anyone else coming it'd be better to bounce ideas together about how to define such classes.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M<br />
<br />
====Gloss-based plots====<br />
'''What:''' Either an alternative graphing back end to Criterion that only relies on OpenGL (through the use of Gloss), or a library for plotting. At the moment Gloss looks like it may only be suitable for bar type graphs, but we'll see. (We may look into writing some other library that's better suited than Gloss, as Gloss is aimed at students learning haskell, and wanting to just get something drawn)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M, Alex M<br />
<br />
====GHC LLVM backend====<br />
'''What:''' The recent work dome by David Terei on an LLVM backend for GHC has shown some fantastic results, and getting it to a point where it could become the default GHC backend is something a lot of people would really like to see.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Alex M, Manuel, Erik<br />
<br />
====Accelerate====<br />
'''What:''' [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate Accelerate] is a Haskell EDSL for regular array computations. The aim is to make it generate so blindingly fast code that the C folks start to cry. An LLVM backend is in very early stages of development and a CUDA GPU backend is good enough to run some first small Accelerate programs.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Manuel, Alex M<br />
<br />
====Hubris====<br />
'''What:''' [http://github.com/mwotton/hubris Hubris] is a bridge between Ruby and Haskell. There are two main options - working on Hubris itself (adding instances for more data types, making it easier to install, chasing the 64-bit linking bug...) or actually building something cool with it.

If you want to say across the road from Central station, and don't mind hanging out with English gap-year kids, then you try [http://www.wakeup.com.au/ WakeUp].<br />
<br />
If you like to party then [http://www.evasbackpackers.com.au/ Evas Backpackers] is a short stumble home from Kings Cross. <br />
<br />
I'd avoid [http://www.sydneycentralonwentworth.com.au/ SydneyCentralOnWentworth]. It has a pretty website but the rooms are small and dingy (benl23 stayed there in 2009)<br />
<br />
Note that hostels tend to be busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, so it's good to book early.<br />
<br />
=== Colleges ===<br />
For something more up-market you could try one of [http://www.housing.unsw.edu.au/housing/short_term/short_term.php?p=overview the UNSW residential Colleges]. This site also has more links to hotels and hostels.<br />
<br />
=== Hotels ===<br />
If you have AUD$120 - 150 per night and aren't organised then [http://www.lastminute.com.au/hotels.html LastMinute] is a good place to find a hotel. You get the best prices if you book 2-3 days in advance.<br />

'''Web site:''' [http://random.axman6.com/blog/ Data.Random blog]<br/><br />
'''Who am I:''' I'm a student at the [http://anu.edu.au/ ANU] in Canberra, Australia, studying for my Engineering and IT double degree<br/><br />
<br />
=== Things I've done ===<br />
<br />
Co-organiser of the first Australian Haskell Hackathon: [[AusHac2010]]</div>Axman6https://wiki.haskell.org/index.php?title=AusHac2010&diff=34178AusHac20102010-03-19T05:44:20Z<p>Axman6: </p>
<hr />
<div>If you've found this page, you use Haskell, ''and'' live in Australia (or at the very least able and willing to travel here), then you're in the right place! We're looking into organising a Haskell [[Hackathon]] some time during the middle of 2010, and this where it shall be organised.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in coming, '''please''' put your name down on the list below, along with your IRC nickname if you're on #haskell, and possibly your email (We'll use this to let you know of any progress we've made, but it's not mandatory). Also, if you've got something to discuss, feel free to add it to the bottom of the page in the Discussion section (just to keep the rest of the page clean and helpful).<br />
<br />
== What we've got so far ==<br />
<br />
===Why===<br />
<br />
Because we miss out on all the fun they have up north, and we've got something to offer. It's also a great chance to meet all these people you talk to on IRC, or read their blogs, and just have a good time, while getting some (potentially) useful work done!<br />
<br />
===When===<br />
<br />
A few dates have been discussed, mainly taking into account when the university holidays are for various universities:<br />
<br />
* ANU: 7 June -> 18 July<br />
* UNSW: 29 June -> 18 July<br />
<br />
So so far we need a weekend between the 28th of June and the 18th of July.<br />
<br />
We're looking at organising it over a weekend, and I (Axman6) would quite like to have it start on a Friday, ending on Sunday. This does not at all mean that those who can’t make the Friday will miss out, the more people we have, the better. But I think that having more time will mean that we can get more done (which is the point right?).<br />
<br />
===Where===<br />
<br />
Manuel Chakravarty and Ben Lippmeier have said there should be no problem finding a room at UNSW, with the only possible problem being Internet access for everyone, but hopefully something can be arranged by that time.<br />

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
=== Possible Projects ===<br />
<br />
====Generic graph class====<br />
'''What:''' I (Ivan) last year floated the idea of replacing the current default array-based Graph data type with an extensible set of classes with default instances. There's various interest about this around and I've done some work on it, but if there's anyone else coming it'd be better to bounce ideas together about how to define such classes.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M<br />
<br />
====Gloss-based plots====<br />
'''What:''' Either an alternative graphing back end to Criterion that only relies on OpenGL (through the use of Gloss), or a library for plotting. At the moment Gloss looks like it may only be suitable for bar type graphs, but we'll see. (We may look into writing some other library that's better suited than Gloss, as Gloss is aimed at students learning haskell, and wanting to just get something drawn)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M, Alex M<br />
<br />
====GHC LLVM backend====<br />
'''What:''' The recent work dome by David Terei on an LLVM backend for GHC has shown some fantastic results, and getting it to a point where it could become the default GHC backend is something a lot of people would really like to see.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Alex M, Manuel, Erik<br />
<br />
====Accelerate====<br />
'''What:''' [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate Accelerate] is a Haskell EDSL for regular array computations. The aim is to make it generate so blindingly fast code that the C folks start to cry. An LLVM backend is in very early stages of development and a CUDA GPU backend is good enough to run some first small Accelerate programs.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Manuel, Alex M<br />
<br />
====Hubris====<br />
'''What:''' [http://github.com/mwotton/hubris Hubris] is a bridge between Ruby and Haskell. There are two main options - working on Hubris itself (adding instances for more data types, making it easier to install, chasing the 64-bit linking bug...) or actually building something cool with it. Open to either. (Oh, one other idea - using Hubris to export QuickCheck to Ruby directly. RushCheck looks a bit moribund these days...)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Mark<br />
<br />
====Leksah====<br />
'''What:''' [http://leksah.org/ Leksah] is a Haskell IDE written in Haskell. Goal for 1.0 is mainly to fix issues in 0.8 rather than add new features, but it would also be nice to make some more progress on replacing GtkSourceView with Yi. Support for running QuickCheck and HUnit may be something we could slip into 1.0.<br />

=== Dates ===<br />
If you want to propose a date, add it to the list below.<br />
<br />
It has been proposed that we have the date set at the weekend of the 16th-18th of July. (I [Axman6] would prefer it to be a week earlier, because the 19th is the first day of uni at ANU and UNSW). <br />

== Accommodation ==<br />
<br />
=== Hostels ===<br />
If you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay near UNSW then there are a [http://www.hostelworld.com/hostels/Sydney/Coogee few back-packers in Coogee].<br />
It's about a 10 minute bus ride from Coogee Beach to UNSW. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
For something a bit further out, you could also try one of the [http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/search/region.cfm?regionid=62 Sydney YHA hostels]. The Glebe one is walking distance to Darling Harbour, though it takes about 50 min to get to UNSW via light rail then bus. Private rooms with shared facilities are about AUD$80. Shared rooms are AUD$30 - 40.<br />
<br />
If you want to say across the road from Central station, and don't mind hanging out with English gap-year kids, then you try [http://www.wakeup.com.au/ WakeUp].<br />
<br />
If you like to party then [http://www.evasbackpackers.com.au/ Evas Backpackers] is a short stumble home from Kings Cross. <br />
<br />
I'd avoid [http://www.sydneycentralonwentworth.com.au/ SydneyCentralOnWentworth]. It has a pretty website but the rooms are small and dingy (benl23 stayed there in 2009)<br />
<br />

=== Possible Projects ===<br />
<br />
====Generic graph class====<br />
'''What:''' I (Ivan) last year floated the idea of replacing the current default array-based Graph data type with an extensible set of classes with default instances. There's various interest about this around and I've done some work on it, but if there's anyone else coming it'd be better to bounce ideas together about how to define such classes.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M<br />
<br />
====Gloss-based plots====<br />
'''What:''' Either an alternative graphing back end to Criterion that only relies on OpenGL (through the use of Gloss), or a library for plotting. At the moment Gloss looks like it may only be suitable for bar type graphs, but we'll see. (We may look into writing some other library that's better suited than Gloss, as Gloss is aimed at students learning haskell, and wanting to just get something drawn)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Ivan M, Alex M<br />
<br />
====GHC LLVM backend====<br />
'''What:''' The recent work dome by David Terei on an LLVM backend for GHC has shown some fantastic results, and getting it to a point where it could become the default GHC backend is something a lot of people would really like to see.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Alex M, Manuel, Erik<br />
<br />
====Accelerate====<br />
'''What:''' [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate Accelerate] is a Haskell EDSL for regular array computations. The aim is to make it generate so blindingly fast code that the C folks start to cry. An LLVM backend is in very early stages of development and a CUDA GPU backend is good enough to run some first small Accelerate programs.<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Manuel, Alex M<br />
<br />
====Hubris====<br />
'''What:''' [http://github.com/mwotton/hubris Hubris] is a bridge between Ruby and Haskell. There are two main options - working on Hubris itself (adding instances for more data types, making it easier to install, chasing the 64-bit linking bug...) or actually building something cool with it. Open to either. (Oh, one other idea - using Hubris to export QuickCheck to Ruby directly. RushCheck looks a bit moribund these days...)<br />
<br />
'''Who:''' Mark<br />
<br />
====Leksah====<br />
'''What:''' [http://leksah.org/ Leksah] is a Haskell IDE written in Haskell. Goal for 1.0 is mainly to fix issues in 0.8 rather than add new features, but it would also be nice to make some more progress on replacing GtkSourceView with Yi. Support for running QuickCheck and HUnit may be something we could slip into 1.0.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Dates ===<br />
If you want to propose a date, add it to the list below.<br />
<br />
It has been proposed that we have the date set at the weekend of the 16th-18th of July. (I [Axman6] would prefer it to be a week earlier, because the 19th is the first day of uni at ANU and UNSW). <br />

<hr />
<div>If you've found this page, you use Haskell, ''and'' live in Australia (or at the very least able and willing to travel here), then you're in the right place! We're looking into organising a Haskell [[Hackathon]] some time during the middle of 2010, and this where it shall be organised.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in coming, '''please''' put your name down on the list below, along with your IRC nickname if you're on #haskell, and possibly your email (We'll use this to let you know of any progress we've made, but it's not mandatory). Also, if you've got something to discuss, feel free to add it to the bottom of the page in the Discussion section (just to keep the rest of the page clean and helpful).<br />
<br />
== What we've got so far ==<br />
<br />
===Why===<br />
<br />
Because we miss out on all the fun they have up north, and we've got something to offer. It's also a great chance to meet all these people you talk to on IRC, or read their blogs, and just have a good time, while getting some (potentially) useful work done!<br />
<br />
===When===<br />
<br />
A few dates have been discussed, mainly taking into account when the university holidays are for various universities:<br />
<br />
* ANU: 7 June -> 18 July<br />
* UNSW: 29 June -> 18 July<br />
<br />
So so far we need a weekend between the 28th of June and the 18th of July.<br />
<br />
We're looking at organising it over a weekend, and I (Axman6) would quite like to have it start on a Friday, ending on Sunday. This does not at all mean that those who can’t make the Friday will miss out, the more people we have, the better. But I think that having more time will mean that we can get more done (which is the point right?).<br />
<br />
===Where===<br />
<br />
Manuel Chakravarty and Ben Lippmeier have said there should be no problem finding a room at UNSW, with the only possible problem being Internet access for everyone, but hopefully something can be arranged by that time.<br />

<br />
Because we miss out on all the fun they have up north, and we've got something to offer. It's also a great chance to meet all these people you talk to on IRC, or read their blogs, and just have a good time, while getting some (potentially) useful work done!<br />
<br />
===When===<br />
<br />
A few dates have been discussed, mainly taking into account when the university holidays are for various universities:<br />
<br />
* ANU: 7 June -> 18 July<br />
* UNSW: 29 June -> 18 July<br />
<br />
So so far we need a weekend between the 28th of June and the 18th of July.<br />
<br />
We're looking at organising it over a weekend, and I (Axman6) would quite like to have it start on a Friday, ending on Sunday. This does not at all mean that those who can’t make the Friday will miss out, the more people we have, the better. But I think that having more time will mean that we can get more done (which is the point right?).<br />
<br />
===Where===<br />
<br />
Manuel Chakravarty and Ben Lippmeier have said there should be no problem finding a room at UNSW, with the only possible problem being Internet access for everyone, but hopefully something can be arranged by that time.<br />

<hr />
<div>== GHC ==<br />
<br />
==== Important notes ====<br />
<br />
To get the most out of your GHC environment, you should '~/.cabal/bin' to your PATH environment variable before the path where you have GHC installed. This will allow you to get and use cabal-updates, as well as other programs shipped with GHC like hsc2hs.<br />
<br />
In you ~/.profile, add the line:<br />
<br />
<code>export PATH="~/.cabal/bin:$PATH";</code><br />
<br />
<br />
=== Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) ===<br />
<br />
To install GHC on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), there are the following options:<br />
* install the [http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ Haskell Platform]<br />
* install [http://www.macports.org MacPort]'s [http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/lang/ghc/Portfile ghc] package<br />
<br />
=== Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) ===<br />
Mac OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) works with GHC, after you apply a simple patch.<br />
The problem is that GHC generates 32bit code, but gcc on Snow Leopard defaults to 64bit code on machines with processors that support it. The patch simply tells GHC to tell gcc to work in 32bit:<br />
<br />
* Install the [http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ Haskell Platform]<br />
* Open <code>/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/ghc-6.10.4</code> in a text editor<br />
* Insert <code>-optc-m32 -opta-m32 -optl-m32</code> just before the last parameter.<br />
<br />
<br />
The last line in that file is rather long, and should now end like <code> -dynload wrapped -optc-m32 -opta-m32 -optl-m32 ${1+"$@"}</code><br />
<br />
<br />
Don't be tempted to just put an edited local copy of the script in ~/bin/ghc, or edit all the various GHC files in /usr/bin. There is a maze of twisty symlinks that all eventually lead to the above script, and fixing just it is far simpler.<br />
<br />
See also [http://passingcuriosity.com/2009/haskell-on-snow-leopard/ Haskell on Snow Leopard].<br />
<br />
Many packages need hsc2hs. To make it work correctly you need similar hackery:<br />
<br />
* Open <code>/usr/bin/hsc2hs</code><br />
* Insert <code>--cflag="-m32" --lflag="-m32"</code> before $tflag<br />
<br />
Affected packages include things like zlib and mmap. Building them on Snow Leopard without the above trick leads to nasty bugs in packages depending on them (including darcs). For darcs built on an affected system symptoms include messages like "incompatible zlib version" and "memory allocation failed".<br />
<br />
To uninstall ghc call:<br />
<br />
<code><br />
sudo /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Tools/Uninstaller<br />
</code><br />
<br />

> import Control.Arrow<br />
> import Control.Category<br />
> import Prelude hiding (id,(.))<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
== The Arrow ==<br />
Arrow a b c represents a process that takes as input something of<br />
type b and outputs something of type c.<br />
<br />
Arr builds an arrow out of a function. This function is<br />
arrow-specific. Its signature is<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
arr :: (Arrow a) => (b -> c) -> a b c<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
Arrow composition is achieved with (>>>). This takes two arrows<br />
and chains them together, one after another. It is also arrow-<br />
specific. Its signature is:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
(>>>) :: (Arrow a) => a b c -> a c d -> a b d<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
First and second make a new arrow out of an existing arrow. They<br />
perform a transformation (given by their argument) on either<br />
the first or the second item of a pair. These definitions are<br />
arrow-specific. Their signatures are:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
first :: (Arrow a) => a b c -> a (b, d) (c, d)<br />
second :: (Arrow a) => a b c -> a (d, b) (d, c)<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
First and second may seem pretty strange at first, but they'll make sense <br />
in a few minutes.<br />
<br />
That's it for the arrow-specific definitions.<br />
<br />
== A Simple Arrow ==<br />
Let's define a really simple arrow as an example. Our simple arrow is <br />
just a function mapping an input to an output. We don't really need <br />
arrows for something this simple, but we could use something this <br />
simple to explain arrows.<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> newtype SimpleFunc a b = SimpleFunc {<br />
> runF :: (a -> b)<br />
> }<br />
><br />
> instance Arrow SimpleFunc where<br />
> arr f = SimpleFunc f<br />
> first (SimpleFunc f) = SimpleFunc (mapFst f)<br />
> where mapFst g (a,b) = (g a, b)<br />
> second (SimpleFunc f) = SimpleFunc (mapSnd f)<br />
> where mapSnd g (a,b) = (a, g b)<br />
><br />
> instance Category SimpleFunc where<br />
> (SimpleFunc g) . (SimpleFunc f) = SimpleFunc (g . f)<br />
> id = arr id<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
== Some Arrow Operations ==<br />
Now lets define some operations that are generic to all arrows.<br />
<br />
Split is an arrow that splits a single value into a pair of duplicate<br />
values:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> split :: (Arrow a) => a b (b, b)<br />
> split = arr (\x -> (x,x))<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
Unsplit is an arrow that takes a pair of values and combines them<br />
to return a single value:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> unsplit :: (Arrow a) => (b -> c -> d) -> a (b, c) d<br />
> unsplit = arr . uncurry <br />
> -- arr (\op (x,y) -> x `op` y)<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
(***) combines two arrows into a new arrow by running the two arrows<br />
on a pair of values (one arrow on the first item of the pair and one arrow on the <br />
second item of the pair).<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
f *** g = first f >>> second g<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
(&&&) combines two arrows into a new arrow by running the two arrows on <br />
the same value:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
f &&& g = split >>> first f >>> second g<br />
-- = split >>> f *** g<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
LiftA2 makes a new arrow that combines the output from two arrows using <br />
a binary operation. It works by splitting a value and operating on <br />
both halfs and then combining the result:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> liftA2 :: (Arrow a) => (b -> c -> d) -> a e b -> a e c -> a e d<br />
> liftA2 op f g = split >>> first f >>> second g >>> unsplit op<br />
> -- = f &&& g >>> unsplit op<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
<br />
== An Example ==<br />
Now let's build something using our simple arrow definition and<br />
some of the tools we just created. We start with two simple<br />
arrows, f and g. F halves its input and g triples its input and<br />
adds one:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> f, g :: SimpleFunc Int Int<br />
> f = arr (`div` 2)<br />
> g = arr (\x -> x*3 + 1)<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
We can combine these together using liftA2:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> h :: SimpleFunc Int Int<br />
> h = liftA2 (+) f g<br />
><br />
> hOutput :: Int<br />
> hOutput = runF h 8<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
What is h? How does it work? <br />
The process defined by h is (split >>> first f >>> second g >>> unsplit (+)).<br />
Lets work through an application of h to some value, 8:<br />
<br />
8 -> (8, 8) split<br />
(8, 8) -> (4, 8) first f (x `div` 2 of the first element)<br />
(4, 8) -> (4, 25) second g (3*x + 1 of the second element)<br />
(4, 25) -> 29 applies (+) to tuple elements.<br />
<br />
+------> f ---------+<br />
| v<br />
8 ---> (split) (unsplit (+)) ----> 29<br />
| ^<br />
+------> g ---------+<br />
<br />
so we see that h is a new arrow that when applied to 8, applies 8 to f <br />
and applies 8 to g and adds the results.<br />
<br />
A lot of juggling occurred to get the plumbing right since<br />
h wasn't defined as a linear combination of arrows. GHC has<br />
a do-notation that simplifies this in a similar way to how<br />
do-notation simplifies monadic computation. To use this<br />
notation you must specify the -farrows flag. The h function<br />
can be defined as:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> h' :: SimpleFunc Int Int<br />
> h' = proc x -> do<br />
> fx <- f -< x<br />
> gx <- g -< x<br />
> returnA -< (fx + gx)<br />
><br />
> hOutput' :: Int<br />
> hOutput' = runF h' 8<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
<br />
== Kleisli Arrows ==<br />
Let's move on to something a little fancier now: Kleisli arrows. <br />
A Kleisli arrow (Kleisli m a b) is the arrow (a -> m b) for all<br />
monads. It's defined in Control.Arrows similarly to our SimpleFunc:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
newtype Kleisli m a b = Kleisli {<br />
runKleisli :: (a -> m b) <br />
}<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
It comes complete with its own definitions for arr, first, second and<br />
(>>>). This means that all multi-value functions (a -> [b]) are already <br />
defined as Kleisli arrows (because [] is a monad)! (>>>) performs<br />
composition, keeping track of all the multiple results. Split, (&&&)<br />
and (***) are all defined as before. So for example:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> plusminus, double, h2 :: Kleisli [] Int Int<br />
> plusminus = Kleisli (\x -> [x, -x])<br />
> double = arr (* 2)<br />
> h2 = liftA2 (+) plusminus double <br />
><br />
> h2Output :: [Int]<br />
> h2Output = runKleisli h2 8<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
== A Teaser ==<br />
Finally, here is a little teaser. There is an arrow function called<br />
returnA which returns an identity arrow. There is an ArrowPlus class <br />
that includes a zeroArrow (which for the list monad is an arrow that <br />
always returns the empty list) and a <+> operator (which takes the <br />
results from two arrows and concatenates them). We can build up <br />
some pretty interesting string transformations (the multi-valued<br />
function String -> [String]) using Kleisli arrows:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
<br />
> main :: IO ()<br />
> main = do<br />
> let<br />
> prepend x = arr (x ++)<br />
> append x = arr (++ x)<br />
> withId t = returnA <+> t<br />
> xform = (withId $ prepend "<") >>><br />
> (withId $ append ">") >>><br />
> (withId $ ((prepend "!") >>> (append "!")))<br />
> xs = ["test", "foobar"] >>= (runKleisli xform)<br />
> mapM_ putStrLn xs<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
An important observation here is that<br />
f >>> g<br />
<br />
is multi-valued composition (g . f), and<br />
(withId f) >>> (withId g) =<br />
(returnA <+> f) >>> (returnA <+> g) =<br />
((arr id) <+> f) >>> ((arr id) <+> g)<br />
<br />
which, when applied to an input x, returns all values:<br />
((id . id) x) ++ ((id . f) x) ++ ((id . g) x) ++ ((g . f) x) =<br />
x ++ (f x) ++ (g x) ++ ((g . f) x)<br />
<br />
which are all permutations of using arrows f and g.<br />

==An explanation in Haskell-Cafe==<br />
<br />
The ST monad lets you use update-in-place, but is escapable (unlike IO). <br />
ST actions have the form:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
ST s α<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
Meaning that they return a value of type α, and execute in "thread" s.<br />
All reference types are tagged with the thread, so that actions can only<br />
affect references in their own "thread".<br />
<br />
Now, the type of the function used to escape ST is:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
runST :: forall α. (forall s. ST s α) -> α<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
The action you pass must be universal in s, so inside your action you<br />
don't know what thread, thus you cannot access any other threads, thus<br />
<hask>runST</hask> is pure. This is very useful, since it allows you to implement<br />
externally pure things like in-place quicksort, and present them as pure<br />
functions ∀ e. Ord e ⇒ Array e → Array e; without using any unsafe<br />
functions.<br />
<br />
But that type of <hask>runST</hask> is illegal in Haskell-98, because it needs a<br />
universal quantifier *inside* the function-arrow! In the jargon, that<br />
type has rank 2; haskell 98 types may have rank at most 1.<br />
<br />
See http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-July/028233.html<br />
<br />
Could we *please* see an example.<br />
<br />
Sure thing...<br />
<br />
== A few simple examples ==<br />
<br />
In this example, we define a version of the function sum, but do it in a way which more like how it would be done in imperative languages, where a variable is updated, rather than a new value is formed and passed to the next iteration of the function. While in place modifications of the STRef n are occurring, something that would usually be considered a side effect, it is all done in a safe way which is deterministic. The result is that we get the benefits of being able to modify memory in place, while still producing a pure function with the use of runST.<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
import Control.Monad.ST<br />
import Data.STRef<br />
import Control.Monad<br />
<br />
<br />
sumST :: Num a => [a] -> a<br />
sumST xs = runST $ do -- runST takes out stateful code and makes it pure again.<br />
<br />
n <- newSTRef 0 -- Create an STRef (place in memory to store values)<br />
<br />
forM_ xs $ \x -> do -- For each element of xs ..<br />
modifySTRef n (+x) -- add it to what we have in n.<br />
<br />
readSTRef n -- read the value of n, and return it.<br />
<br />
<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
An implementation of foldl using the ST monad (a lot like sum, and in fact sum can be defined in terms of foldlST):<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
foldlST :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a<br />
foldlST f acc xs = runST $ do<br />
acc' <- newSTRef acc -- Create a variable for the accumulator<br />
<br />
forM_ xs $ \x -> do -- For each x in xs...<br />
<br />
a <- readSTRef acc' -- read the accumulator<br />
writeSTRef acc' (f a x) -- apply f to the accumulator and x<br />
<br />
readSTRef acc' -- and finally read the result<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
An example of the Fibonacci function running in constant** space:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
fibST :: Integer -> Integer<br />
fibST n = <br />
if n < 2<br />
then n<br />
else runST $ do<br />
x <- newSTRef 0<br />
y <- newSTRef 1<br />
fibST' n x y<br />
<br />
where fibST' 0 x _ = readSTRef x<br />
fibST' n x y = do<br />
x' <- readSTRef x<br />
y' <- readSTRef y<br />
writeSTRef x y'<br />
writeSTRef y (x'+y')<br />
fibST' (n-1) x y<br />
</haskell><br />
**(Since we're using Integers, technically it's not constant space, as they grow in size when they get bigger, but we can ignore this.)</div>Axman6https://wiki.haskell.org/index.php?title=Monad/ST&diff=25970Monad/ST2009-01-20T12:17:43Z<p>Axman6: </p>

[[Category:Standard classes]] [[Category:Monad]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==An explanation in Haskell-Cafe==<br />
<br />
The ST monad lets you use update-in-place, but is escapable (unlike IO). <br />
ST actions have the form:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
ST s α<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
Meaning that they return a value of type α, and execute in "thread" s.<br />
All reference types are tagged with the thread, so that actions can only<br />
affect references in their own "thread".<br />
<br />
Now, the type of the function used to escape ST is:<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
runST :: forall α. (forall s. ST s α) -> α<br />
</haskell><br />
<br />
The action you pass must be universal in s, so inside your action you<br />
don't know what thread, thus you cannot access any other threads, thus<br />
<hask>runST</hask> is pure. This is very useful, since it allows you to implement<br />
externally pure things like in-place quicksort, and present them as pure<br />
functions ∀ e. Ord e ⇒ Array e → Array e; without using any unsafe<br />
functions.<br />
<br />
But that type of <hask>runST</hask> is illegal in Haskell-98, because it needs a<br />
universal quantifier *inside* the function-arrow! In the jargon, that<br />
type has rank 2; haskell 98 types may have rank at most 1.<br />
<br />
See http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-July/028233.html<br />
<br />
Could we *please* see an example.<br />
<br />
== A simple example ==<br />
<br />
In this example, we define a version of the function sum, but do it in a way which should use constant space to compute the answer. While in place modifications of the STRef n are occurring, something that would usually be considered a side effect, it is all done in a safe way which is deterministic. The result is that we get the benefits of being able to modify memory in place, while still producing a pure function with the use of runST.<br />
<br />
<haskell><br />
import Control.Monad.ST<br />
import Data.STRef<br />
import Control.Monad<br />
<br />
<br />
sumST :: Num a => [a] -> a<br />
sumST xs = runST $ do -- runST takes out stateful code and makes it pure again.<br />
n <- newSTRef 0 -- Create an STRef (place in memory to store values)<br />
forM_ xs $ \x -> do -- For each element of xs ..<br />
-- (forM_ is just flip mapM_)<br />
modifySTRef n (+x) -- add it to what we have in n.<br />
readSTRef n -- read the value of n, and return it.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div>'''The great 2009 Haskell logo contest'''<br />
<br />
The Haskell logo has [http://www.willamette.edu/~fruehr/logos/intro.html changed over time], and the current "new" logo reflects the<br />
advanced features of Haskell. However, it is looking rather dated, and doesn't necessarily reflect the mature Haskell we have now.<br />
<br />
So, time to find a new logo. Something reflecting the modern emphasis of<br />
Haskell on purity and simplicity.<br />
<br />
Please submit logo-sized (not overly large) versions of your logo with optional text, with a preferably white background (such as for use on haskell.org).<br />
<br />
Please submit your entries here, and attach your name to them please. To be eligible,<br />
they will need to be visible on this page (e.g. uploaded, or link to the image). The image should be freely available (a suitable freely distributable license). Entries not displayed here won't be eligible.<br />
<br />
''The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2008, after which the top few submissions will be voted on by the community to decide a winner!''<br />

A slightly different take on the Haskell logo, as the lambda-in-a-circle looks a bit too much like the Half Life logo for my taste. This<br />
one references monads instead of lambda calculus. Three possible slogans, emphasizing the fun that comes from programming in Haskell.<br />
Number 2 and 3 also reference function composition. Number 3 is my personal favourite.<br />

I originally had no specific mountain in mind, but Don Stewart pointed out that this might be representative of Mt. Hood in Portland, Oregon, where Haskell was named.<br />
<br />
Regardless, I thought a summit, bathed in the pure mountain air would be a decent symbol for Haskell, the peak of contemporary programming. :)<br />

The idea for this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordmark_(graphic_identity) wordmark] is to modify ''A'' to resemble λ and through this tie together the "Haskell" to the "Lambda". Modified ''A'' also works well as a standalone logo:<br />
<br />
[[Image:haskell-symbol-apankrat.png]]<br />
<br />
Note that ''any'' logo based on the unmodified λ symbol may look ambiguous to the people outside of Haskell community. While the λ in the context of programming languages is clearly associated with functional programming, it ''is'' a lowercase Greek L and so it's reasonable for an outsider to associate it with '''L'''isp, and not Haskell.<br />
<br />
PS. I just scrolled up and saw BONUS'es entry (14:40, 16 December 2008). While its idea is close, I think using pure λ in place of an A doesn't work because it effectively turn the name into H-L-skell.<br />

The Haskell logo has [http://www.willamette.edu/~fruehr/logos/intro.html changed over time], and the current "new" logo reflects the advanced features of Haskell. However, it is looking rather dated, and doesn't necessarily reflect the mature Haskell we have now.<br />
<br />
So, time to find a new logo. Something reflecting the modern emphasis of<br />
Haskell on purity and simplicity.<br />

A slightly different take on the Haskell logo, as the lambda-in-a-circle looks a bit too much like the Half Life logo for my taste. This one references monads instead of lambda calculus. Three possible slogans, emphasizing the fun that comes from programming in Haskell. Number 2 and 3 also reference function composition. Number 3 is my personal favourite.<br />

parallel programs. This page lists libraries and extensions for programming<br />

The programming model includes forking stateful threads on remote locations, explicit communication over channels, and distributed exception handling.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dubois/mhaskell Mobile Haskell (mHaskell)]<br />
:Mobile Haskell supports both strong and weak mobility of computations across open networks. The mobility primitives are higher-order polymorphic channels. Mid-level abstractions like remote evaluation, analogous to Java RMI, are readily constructed. High-level mobility skeletons like mobile map and mobile fold encapsulate common patterns of mobile computation.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~eden Eden]<br />
:Eden extends Haskell with a small set of syntactic constructs for explicit process specification and creation.

<br />
== MPI ==<br />

;[http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/hmpi/ hMPI]<br />
:hMPI is an acronym for HaskellMPI. It is a Haskell binding conforming to MPI (Message Passing Interface) standard 1.1/1.2. The programmer is in full control over the communication between the nodes of a cluster.<br />
<br />
== Distributed Haskell: Ports ==<br />
<br />
;[http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/ports-0.4.3.2 The Haskell Ports Library (HPL)]<br />
:Ports are an abstraction for modelling variables whose values evolve over time without the need to resort to mutable variable, such as IORefs. More precisely, a port represents all values that a time-dependent variable successively takes as a stream, where each element of the stream corresponds to a state change - we can also say that a port represents a time series. Moreover, a port supports concurrent construction of the time series, or stream of values.<br />
<br />
== Modelling concurrent and distributed systems ==<br />
<br />
;[http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/~cr3/HCPN/ HCPN: Haskell-Coloured Petri Nets]<br />
:Haskell-Coloured Petri Nets (HCPN) are an instance of high-level Petri Nets, in which anonymous tokens are replaced by Haskell data objects (and transitions can operate on that data, in addition to moving it around). This gives us a hybrid graphical/textual modelling formalism for Haskell, especially suited for modelling concurrent and distributed systems.<br />
<br />
== Communicating Haskell Processes ==<br />
<br />
;[http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/ofa/chp/ CHP: Communicating Haskell Processes]<br />
:CHP is built on the ideas of CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes), featuring encapsulated parallel processes (no shared data!) communicating over synchronous channels. This is a very composable mode that also allows choice on communications, so that a process may offer to either read on one channel or write on another, but will only take the first that is available.</div>Axman6https://wiki.haskell.org/index.php?title=CAF&diff=23320CAF2008-10-06T16:03:48Z<p>Axman6: Added redirect</p>
