The BSMLlib library is a functional programming library for the Objective Caml language for direct-mode BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) algorithms. It has been developped as part of our research program to investigate paradigms for functional parallel programming as special cases of standard semantics. The underlying assumption is that (efficient) parallel algorithms are special cases of (efficient) sequential algorithms and that using concurrent extensions of sequential languages to express them is both useless and harmful.
Sucessfully installed and tested on the following machines (ocaml 2.02,2.03,2.04 or 3.02 and bsplib 1.4):
