TFP2010: ComputErl - Erlang-based Framework for Many Task Computing (Oklahoma, USA)
Michal Ptaszek, Consultant at Erlang Solutions Ltd. will be giving a talk on "ComputErl - Erlang-based Framework for Many Task Computing" at the Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming at the University of Oklahoma this May.
The Symposium is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming. It embraces a broad view of current and future trends in functional programming and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research and applications.
Michal's bio:
My adventure with computers started when I was ten years old: I created my first loop on C-64 using the BASIC programming language. I like experimenting with new technologies, working at the lowest levels of systems and solving the security issues.
abstract:
This paper shows how Erlang programming language can be used for creating a framework for distributing and coordinating the execution of many task computing problems. The goals of the proposed solution are (1) to disperse the computation into many tasks, (2) to support multiple well-known computation models (such as master-worker, map-reduce, pipeline), (3) to exploit the advantages of Erlang for developing an efficient and scalable framework and (4) to build a system that can scale from small to large number of tasks with minimum effort. We present the effects of work on designing, implementing and testing ComputErl framework. Experiments with benchmarks as well as real scientific applications on the cluster show scalability on up to 100 nodes.
Erlang Solutions Ltd. sponsors this year's Trends in Functional Programming and Francesco Cesarini (founder and CSO of Erlang Solutions Ltd.) sits on the programme committee.
