Abstract
To reduce the adverse effects of long latency
communication operations in distributed implementations of the Spineless
Tagless G-machine (STGM), a variant of the original abstract machine that
contains explicit support for multithreading is introduced. In particular,
source-to-source transformations can be used on the level of the abstract
machine code to foster the tolerance to long latency communication.
The changes to the original STG-language include a separation of demand from case selection together with the introduction of a new construct that provides an abstract notion of thread boundaries and thread synchronization.
