This tutorial focuses on explaining the "bits round the edges" of Haskell programs, rather than the beautiful functional core we all know and love.

Increasing alioth shootout performance via parallelism in Haskell

This project uses a language-based technique to unify two seemingly opposite programming models for building massively concurrent network services: the event-driven model and the multithreaded model. The result is a unified concurrency model providing both thread abstractions and event abstractions. We implemented the unified concurrency model in Haskell, a pure, lazy, functional programming language. Our implementation demonstrates how to use these techniques by building an application-level thread library with support for multiprocessing and asynchronous I/O mechanisms in Linux. The thread library is type-safe, is relatively simple to implement, and has good performance. Application-level threads are extremely lightweight (scaling to 10,000,000 threads!) and our scheduler, which is implemented as a modular and extensible event-driven system, outperforms NPTL in I/O benchmarks.
