Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell

For a long time, the programming community has known that programming with threads and locks is hard. It often requires an inordinate degree of expertise even for simple problems and leads to programs that have faults that are hard to diagnose. Still, threads and locks are general enough to express everything we might need to write, from parallel image processors to concurrent web servers, and there is an undeniable benefit in having a single general API. However, if we want to make programming concurrent and parallel software easier, we need to embrace the idea that different problems require different tools; a single tool just doesn’t cut it. Image processing is naturally expressed in terms of parallel array operations, whereas threads are a good fit in the case of a concurrent web server. So in Haskell, we aim to provide the right tool for the job, for as many jobs as possible. If a job is found for which Haskell doesn’t have the right tool, then we try to find a way to build it.

Introduction · bio4j/Bio4j Wiki

Bio4j is a bioinformatics graph based DB including most data available in Uniprot KB (SwissProt + Trembl), Gene Ontology (GO), UniRef (50,90,100), RefSeq, NCBI Taxonomy, and Expasy Enzyme DB. Bio4j provides a completely new and powerful framework for protein related information querying and management. Since it relies on a high-performance graph engine, data is stored in a way that semantically represents its own structure. On the contrary, traditional relational databases must flatten the data they represent into tables, creating "artificial" ids in order to connect the different tuples; which can in some cases eventually lead to domain models that have almost nothing to do with the actual structure of data.
