Haskell High Performance Programming

Boost the performance of your Haskell applications using optimization, concurrency, and parallel programming About This Book • Explore the benefits of lazy evaluation, compiler features, and tools and libraries designed for high performance • Write fast programs at extremely high levels of abstraction • Work through practical examples that will help you address the challenges of writing efficient code Who This Book Is For To get the most out of this book, you need to have a working knowledge of reading and writing basic Haskell. No knowledge of performance, optimization, or concurrency is required. What You Will Learn • Program idiomatic Haskell that's also surprisingly efficient • Improve performance of your code with data parallelism, inlining, and strictness annotations • Profile your programs to identify space leaks and missed opportunities for optimization • Find out how to choose the most efficient data and control structures • Optimize the Glasgow Haskell Compiler and runtime
