I contribute(d) to the development of the Ocaml Parmap module. Parmap is a minimalistic library allowing to exploit multicore architecture for OCaml programs with minimal modifications: if you want to use your many cores to accelerate an operation which happens to be a map, fold or map/fold (map-reduce), just use Parmap’s parmap, parfold and parmapfold primitives in place of the standard List.map and friends, and specify the number of subprocesses to use by the optional parameter ~ncores.

I'm currently involved in FastFlow development.

I'm using FastFlow in the SPM course and therefore I produced a small tutorial which has been published as a technical report and included in the course notes as well.

I'm currently (academic year 2011-2012) supervising two master thesis aimed at

• introducing autonomic management of non functional features in FastFlow, in the Behavioural skeleton style
• supporting GPUs through SkePu integration

LIBERO (a LIghtweight BEhavioural skeleton framework) is a lightweight implementation of Behavioural skeletons as introduced in CoreGRID GCM.
