Although processes are defined explicitly, communication and synchronisation issues are handled in a way transparent to the programmer. In order to offer effective support for parallel evaluation, Eden’s coordination constructs override the inherently sequential demand-driven (lazy) evaluation strategy of its computation language Haskell. Eden is a general-purpose parallel functional language suitable for developing sophisticated skeletons – which simplify parallel programming immensely – as well as for exploiting more irregular parallelism that cannot easily be captured by a predefined skeleton. The paper gives a comprehensive description of Eden, its semantics, its skeleton-based programming methodology – which is applied in three case studies – its implementation and performance. Furthermore it points at many additional results that have been achieved in the context of the Eden project. eng restricted access Parallel functional programming in Eden. journal article
