The HDC Compiler Project
The objective of the Higher-order
Divide-and-Conquer compiler project
was to investigate the automatic parallelization of divide-and-conquer
recursions. The programming language used is a subset
of the pure and higher-order functional programming language Haskell,
but with an eager semantics to enable parallelization.
Important combinators, especially various kinds of Divide-and-Conquer,
are expressed as predefined skeletons. The parallel target code is in
C+MPI. The compiler is itself completely implemented in Haskell.
The HDC project was part of the DFG-funded
project RecuR2 (Regular Concurrency in Recurrences 2) of the
Chair for Programming at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the
University of Passau.

Current activities
Our activities are directed towards a compilation system for skeletons based on
metaprogramming.
