1 Parallelism and Concurrency

1.1 Transitioning from sequential programming

Making the transition from sequential to implicit parallel programming

• Part 1: How sequential languages obscure parallelism
• Part 2: How to achieve parallel execution
• Part 3: Explicit parallel programming with threads and locks
• Part 4: Explicit parallelism: message-passing programming
• Part 5: Implicit parallel programming: Declarative languages
• Part 6: So, why aren't we using functional languages yet?

1.2 Threads

• Threads Considered Harmful (discusses The Problem with Threads)

1.3 Transactional memory

• STM and IO
  • STM, IO, and a Simple Persistence Model
  • STM and IO Redux

• Cool stuff: Composable memory transactions

• Synchronised threads with TMVars:
  • part1
  • part2

1.4 Nested data paralellism

• Nested Data Parallelism in Haskell (video)
• More Haskell parallelism
• Nested Data Parallelism in Haskell

1.5 Actors

• The Actors Model and Haskell

1.6 Further reading
