A Neighborhood of Infinity: An Approach to Algorithm Parallelisation
The other day I came across the paper Parallelizing Complex Scans and Reductions lying on a colleague's desk. The first part of the paper discussed how to make a certain family of algorithms run faster on parallel machines and the second half of the paper went on to show how, with some work, the method could be stretched to a wider class of algorithm. What the authors seemed to miss was that the extra work really wasn't necessary and the methods of the first half apply, with no change, to the second half. But don't take this as a criticism! I learnt a whole new way to approach algorithm design, and the trick to making the second half easy uses methods that have become popular in more recent years. Doing a web search I found lots of papers describing something similar to what I did.
Kamaelia - Concurrency made useful, fun
In Kamaelia you build systems from simple components that talk to each other. This speeds development, massively aids maintenance and also means you build naturally concurrent software. It's intended to be accessible by any developer, including novices. It also makes it fun :)
What sort of systems? Network servers, clients, desktop applications, pygame based games, transcode systems and pipelines, digital TV systems, spam eradicators, teaching tools, and a fair amount more :)
