Simon Peyton Jones: parallel = functional
Simon Peyton Jones recently gave a talk on parallel programming in Haskell at Functional Programming eXchange 2011. It provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of parallel programming in Haskell. It covers Software Transactional Memory, Erlang-style communicating processes, parallel strategies as well as our Data Parallel Haskell, Repa, and Accelerate projects. Watch the video.
