Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We present Functory, a distributed computing library for Objective Caml. The main features of this library include (1) a polymorphic API, (2) several implementations to adapt to different deployment scenarios such as sequential, multi-core or network, and (3) a reliable fault-tolerance mechanism. This paper describes the motivation behind this work, as well as the design and implementation of the library. It also demonstrates the potential of the library using realistic experiments.
