This course does not have a set book. Instead, you will be expected to read a number of research papers. Links to those papers will be made available through the lectures page. However, note that Simon Marlow’s book on Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell covers a good chunk of the course (and lots of other interesting stuff). Simon will kindly give a guest lecture about his work (using Haskell to tame parallelism at Facebook) later in the course.
The lectures page gives an overview of the lectures and the recommended reading.
There are a number of resources available at the links page. This will be grown during the course. (The current version was borrowed from the Intro to FP course.)
A link to last year’s course was requested, to give access to last year’s labs.
Parallel Functional Programming course at Chalmers 2015
Last year, there were four labs, and of those the Erlang labs will remain largely or completely unchanged. The other two labs have been replaced by three smaller labs as part of our response to feedback from student representatives.
Welcome!
