Changes between Version 11 and Version 12 of Status/October06

v11	v12
38	38	We are now working on lots of new stuff that isn't yet in GHC HEAD, but will end up there if all goes well, and then become a part of GHC 6.8:
39	39
40		* Roman Leshchinskiy has been hard at work developing libraries that support '''data-parallel computation''' in GHC. It's not quite ready for public consumption, but you can peek at what is going on by looking at the Haskell Wiki: [http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Data_Parallel_Haskell] Background material here: [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/CKLP01.html]
41
42		* We hope to release a first iteration of our '''data-parallel extensions''' before Christmas.

44	42	* At the moment GHC's '''garbage collector''' is single-threaded, even when GHC is running on a multiprocessor. Roshan James spent the summer at Microsoft on an internship, implementing a multi-threaded GC. We need to do a bit more work, but with a bit of luck we'll push a parallel garbage collector into the HEAD before Christmas.
