Library for concurrent threads running

[Kevin Hammond]

I am also not quite sure of your motivation!

The current version of GpH is (or can be with very little difficulty) implemented using
library calls.  There is really no language extension per se, rather there are
calls to tightly-coupled C code, plus a set of high level libraries to provide
structure (evaluation strategies).  There are, of course, modifications to the
RTS to support proper scheduling, communications etc. , but these are necessary
for a properly integrated high-level approach.  If you want a low-level
approach, one of the MPI libraries for Haskell may suit you better?

I think the best you can get without language extensions is what is described
in Koen Claessen's Functional Pearl "A Poor Man's Concurrency Monad".  It's
really nice, but not exactly what you seem to want.  You can get that article
from http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~koen/publications.html


All the best
