Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell  (English, Paperback, Marlow Simon)

Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell is a professional computer science book on the advanced uses of the Haskell language.

Summary of the Book

This book teaches readers how to use Haskell to engineer parallel and concurrent programs. It gives readers a vital understanding of the myriad APIs and frameworks available in the language. Readers will learn about parallelism and how it uses multicore processors to speed up the compilation of advanced programs. It uses a large number of examples to demonstrate how to conduct parallel array-based computations, using the Repa library. It also teaches readers how to run computations on the GPU directly through the Accelerate library. Harness the power of multiple computer systems in a network by writing distributed programs and speed up the process. Readers will benefit from the code examples and will understand how the language works.
