Concurrent Quicksort in Erlang and F#

Moore’s Law is no more applicable ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law ) since processors are not getting faster and faster. We have now multicore-processors and developers are confronted with new reality. There are dedicated frameworks like Parallel Extension ,Task Parallel Library(by-product of Microsoft Robotics) for Microsoft.net or dedicated programming languages such as Erlang, but the crucial ingredient for success is to modify algorithms to work parallel as possible. We can gauge achieved improvements by applying Amdahls Law(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl). I am going to implement these algorithms in F# and Erlang.

A Giant Rock

Do I need to use synchronize primitives in F# MailboxProcessor ?

We don’t need any synchronizing primitives or additional synchronizing efforts to use F# Mailboxprocessor. I like to share a simple program which demonstrates that you don’t need care about synchronizing issues. Read more ....

Data Abstraction in F#

Data abstraction deals with the question, how to compose compound data from primitive types. SICP states : Data abstraction is a methodology that enables us to isolate how a compound data object is used from the details of how it is constructed from primitive data object. We will firstly implement a solution which is similar to the SICP text book (http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/). It uses tuples as primitive data structure. Indeed, tuples are very straightforward and powerful primitive data structure in functional programming ,but on the other hand, we have to consider, whether these primitives are suitable for .Net platform in the era of SOA or cloud computing.

Mendelssohn's Workroom

This is the work-room of Felix Mendelssohn. I visted his home Leipzig . He wrote Elias in this room,yeah , a small room;but, with great impact:)

WCF F# Examples

I like to share some WCF Examples which I have implemented in FSharp . I am going touch aspects of WCF by giving examples.

Example 1 15.02.2009
I like to show you in this example to setup a basic WCF service programmatically. We will add two channels(web service and tcp/ip) and enable metadata behavior which allows users to create proxy clients.
Download the source code(www.paul-abraham.com/FSharpWCFSimple1.zip) and compile it in shell command. Open the test client proxy by typing:
wcftestclient http://localhost:2008/SimpleService.
