We have been working on "Skeletal Parallelism", in which we are encouraged to build efficient parallel programs by composing ready-made components, called parallel skeletons. This style frees programmers from burdensome tasks in parallel programming. Research directions in this topic are (1) to design flexible, expressive efficient parallel skeletons, (2) to implement such skeletons on various parallel computer architectures, and (3) to study a methodology to derive efficient parallel program systematically or automatically from ones naively composed with skeletons... We have been developing an Haskell library 'GTALib' to provide GTA programming in Haskell, a practical functional programming language. The library provides the core mechanism of the optimization, generic combinators to compose GTA programs, and useful generators and aggregators for several well-used data structures.
