Actually it won't be quite ready for 4.06 - the code is in there, but not in
a production state. Similarly for the GranSim and SMP versions.
Hans Wolfgang Lloidl & I spent a week incorporating his code into the head
of the tree and merging parts of the GUM and SMP code. Things are now on
track, and we should have a functional GUM before too long. The SMP stuff
is "almost there" - you can run simple tests with it at least, but don't try
using asynchronous exceptions.
Cheers,
Simon
PS. Glossary for those who don't know what we're talking about: Glasgow
Parallel Haskell (GpH) is Haskell augmented with the 'par' annotation. GUM
is an implementation of GpH using PVM (and shortly MPI?) to work on networks
of workstations. There's also an implementation of GpH using POSIX threads
designed for use on multiprocessors (which we refer to as the SMP version).
