The 'Par' monad(s) offer an alternative parallel programming API
|
||
|
|
to that provided by the parallel package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A 'Par' monad allows the simple description of parallel computations,
|
||
|
|
and can be used to add parallelism to pure Haskell code. The basic
|
||
|
|
API is straightforward: a 'Par' monad supports forking and simple
|
||
|
|
communication in terms of 'IVar's.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module is an interface module only. It provides a number of
|
||
|
|
type clasess, but not an implementation. The type classes separate
|
||
|
|
different levels of 'Par' functionality. See the "Control.Monad.Par.Class"
|
||
|
|
module for more details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The monad-par library is one example of a concrete library providing
|
||
|
|
this interface.
