[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: bindings to workqueue for distributed applications

[Badi' Abdul-Wahid]

Hello all

I'm announcing a release of bindings to the WorkQueue distributed computing
framework.
This release comprises two packages:
    - bindings-cctools: low-level FFI bindings
         http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bindings-cctools
    - cctools-workqueue: high-level interface built on top of
bindings-cctools
         http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cctools-workqueue


WorkQueue is a Master/Worker framework for building flexible,
fault-tolerant, distributed applications. WorkQueue has been used to scale
to several thousand nodes, combining resources from different execution
environments (HPC, cycle-scavenging, Cloud).

Details can be found on the project website:
http://www.nd.edu/~ccl/software/workqueue

The current bindings are for version 3.6.1 of CCTools.

Here are documentation for bindings-cctools and cctools-workqueue:
http://nd.edu/~cabdulwa/haskell/doc/bindings-cctools-3.6.1.0.1.0.0/html
http://nd.edu/~cabdulwa/haskell/doc/cctools-workqueue-3.6.1.0.1.0.0/html


A documented example can be found in the repository.
http://bitbucket.org/badi/hs-cctools-workqueue/src/v3.6.1.0.1.0.0/Example.hs

If you want to try out these bindings, you will need to install CCTools
first.

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks.
