%0 Book Section %T Towards Improving Skeletons in Eden. publisher John von Neumann Institute for Computing %D 2006 %U 3-00-017352-8 %@ https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/53180 %X The functional language Eden facilitates a skeleton-based methodology for parallel programming.A key point in the efficiency of parallel programs is the distribution of computation among processes.In Eden, this is closely related to its order of evaluation. We describe here an ongoing projectwhose purpose is to use a prototype implementation of Eden’s operational semantics to investigatehow alternative evaluation models may either improve or make worse the behavior of the skeletonsimplemented in Eden %~
