Towards a Generalised Runtime Environment for Parallel Haskells

Abstract. Implementations of parallel dialects (or: coordination languages) on a functional base (or: computation) language always have to extend complex runtime environments by the even more complex paralo maintain a high level of abstraction. Starting from two parallel dialects of the purely functional language Haskell and their implementations, we generalise the characteristics of Haskell-based parallel language tations, abstracting over low-level details. This generalisation is the basis for a shared runtime environment which can support different coordination concepts and alleviate the implementation of new constructs by a well-defined API and a layered structure.
