An overview of Manticore, a heterogeneous parallel language.
Riccardo Pucella, Northeastern University

Manticore is a new functional language for parallel programming being
developed at the University of Chicago. Unlike many parallel
languages, Manticore is meant to be heterogeneous: it supports
parallelism as several levels of granularity. Pragmatically, it
combines CML-style explicit concurrency with NESL-style fine-grain,
implicitly threaded, data parallel constructs. I will review the basic
design of Manticore, and outline some challenges in its
implementation.
