M.S. Joy and T.H. Axford, Parallel Combinator Reduction: Some Performance Bounds (March 1, 1992).
A parallel graph reduction machine simulator is described. This performs combinator reduction and can simulate various different parallel reduction strategies. A number of functional programs are examined, and experimental results presented comparing the amount of parallelism obtainable using explicit divide-and-conquer with the maximum amount of parallelism available in the programs.
