Abstract
This paper discusses an extension of Haskell by support for nested data-parallel programming in the style of the special-purpose language Nesl. More precisely, the extension consists of a parallel array type, array comprehensions, and a set of primitive parallel array operations. This extension brings a hitherto unsupported style of parallel programming to Haskell. Moreover, nested data parallelism should receive wider attention when available in a standardised language like Haskell. This paper outlines the language extension and demonstrates its usefulness with two case studies.
