Purely functional programs should run well on parallel hardware because of the absence of side effects, but it has proved hard to realise this potential in practice. Plenty of pap...
CX, a network-based computational exchange, is presented. The system’s design integrates variations of ideas from other researchers, such as work stealing, non-blocking tasks, e...
The widely used Mark-and-Sweep garbage collector has a drawback in that it does not move objects during collection. As a result, large long-running realistic applications, such as...
