ghc-monad-par

A library for parallel programming based on a monad

The 'Par' monad offers a simple API for parallel programming. The library works for parallelising both pure and 'IO' computations, although only the pure version is deterministic. The default implementation provides a work-stealing scheduler and supports forking tasks that are much lighter weight than IO-threads. For complete documentation see "Control.Monad.Par". Some examples of use can be found in the 'examples/' directory of the source package. Other related packages: * 'abstract-par' provides the type classes that abstract over different implementations of the 'Par' monad. * 'monad-par-extras' provides extra combinators and monad transformers layered on top of the 'Par' monad. Changes in 0.3.4 relative to 0.3: * Fix bugs that cause "thread blocked indefinitely on MVar" crashes. * Added "Control.Monad.Par.IO".
