A Verified Accumulate Algorithmic Skeleton
Abstract
This paper presents an extension of a library for the Coq interactive theorem prover that enables the development of correct functional parallel programs based on sequential program transformation and automatic parallelization using an algorithmic skeleton named accumulate. Such an algorithmic skeleton is a pattern of a parallel algorithm that is provided as a high-order function implemented in parallel. The use of this framework is illustrated with the bracket matching problem, including experiments on a parallel machine.
