10. Implementation Timeline¶
The runtime was developed in 21 phases. Each phase is summarized below with a reference to the section containing full details.
| Phase | Description | Section |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stub pthread-based runtime validating GCC GOMP ABI compatibility | §4 |

| 4 | Haskell FFI interop via foreign import ccall safe |
§6.1 |
| 5 | Concurrent Haskell green threads + OpenMP parallel regions | §6.3 |
| 6 | GC interaction testing — minimal impact on OpenMP latency | §6.4 |
| 7 | Dense matrix multiply (DGEMM) workload | §9.2 |
| 8 | Head-to-head comparison with native libgomp — performance parity | §9.2 |
| 9 | Bidirectional interop: OpenMP workers call Haskell via FunPtr | §6.5 |
