[m-dev.] Simon Marlow - Scheduling Lazy Evaluation on Multicore

[Paul Bone]

Hi Guys.

Simon Marlow gave a talk about scheduling lazy computations on multicore systems.

Most of the talk is about how to handle blackholed-thunks so that:
    1) Work is not duplicated due to races.
    2) Synchronisation on the black hole is not expensive.

The original video is here: http://vimeo.com/15573590

I've downloaded a copy here:
/home/paper/pbone/tmp/Scheduling_Lazy_Evaluation_on_Multicore_on_Vimeo.mp4

If anyone wants a lower-res one suitable for a portable player such as an
iRiver I have that too.
