Haskell.org and Sun Microsystems are proud to announce a joint project to exploit the high performance capabilities of Sun's latest multi-core OpenSPARC systems via Haskell!

Sun has donated a powerful 8 core SPARC Enterprise T5120 Server to the Haskell community, and $10,000 to fund a student, to further develop support for high performance Haskell on the SPARC.

The aim of the project is to improve the SPARC native code generator in GHC and to demonstrate and improve the results of parallel Haskell benchmarks. The student will work with a mentor from Haskell.org and an adviser from Sun's SPARC compiler team.

We are now inviting applications from students!

Please forward this announcement to any and all mailing lists where you think interested students might be lurking. Further details for students may be found below.
