Abstract
We present a flexible skeleton for implementing distributed work pools in our parallel functional language Eden. The skeleton manages a pool of tasks (work pool) in a distributed manner using a demand-driven work stealing approach for load balancing. All coordination is done locally within the worker processes. The latter are arranged in a ring topology and exchange additional channels to shortcut communication paths. The skeleton is suited for different types of algorithms, namely simple data parallel ones and standard tree search algorithms like backtracking, and using a global state as needed for branch-and-bound. Runtime experiments reveal a stable runtime behaviour for the different algorithm classes as illustrated by activity profiles (timeline diagrams). Acceptable speedups can be achieved with low effort.
