[Haskell-cafe] repa parallelization results

[Carter Schonwald]

dense matrix product is not an algorithm that makes sense in repa's
execution model,
in square matrix multiply of two N x N matrices, each result entry depends
on 2n values total across the  two input matrices.
even then, thats actually the wrong way to parallelize dense matrix
product! its worth reading the papers about goto blas and the more recent
blis project. a high performance dense matrix multipy winds up needing to
do some nested array parallelism with mutable updates to have efficient
sharing of sub computations!
