Just to add to this good summary, OCaml already has some support for parallelism that would be useful for scientific computation. Essentially you can already have multi-threaded OCaml programs as long as only one thread is using the OCaml r

The plans, and implementation effort, are focused on getting ParMinor upstreamed so I suspect ConcMinor will stay at version 4.06. I think we were all surprised by how well ParMinor performed. There's work on-going to see just how far

Domain is a unit of parallelism in Multicore OCaml - it's effectively a heavyweight thread. The intention is that you tend to have as many Domains as you have cores you want to use in the computation. Deferred relates to concurrency ra

(Multicore OCaml hacker here - speaking for myself though) Nice to see people having a look at this. It's an early draft chapter that Sudha, one of the Multicore team, has been working on. If you have feedback or suggestions I'm s

Both current multicore GCs do exactly that to keep allocation cheap but there are different design choices within the constraints we could have gone with. To avoid frequent synchronisation we could have gone with a (potentially generational

Yes, it's very easy to make pause times low if you're willing to make allocation expensive - it's all trade-offs. In multicore's case it's about keeping low pause times while also keeping allocation cheap _and_ main

Disclaimer: I don't speak for OCaml or OCaml Labs but I am a contributor to multicore. It is indeed that it is hard to retrofit parallelism on to an existing language while trying to retain backwards compatibility _and_ performance. Ba
