Parallel Dynamic Programming using Data-Parallel Skeletons

For demonstrating the powerfulness of skeletal programming we have developed a parallelization technique toward one class of optimization problems called maximum marking problems, which can be recognized as one class of dynamic programming. This paper, as in the course of an ongoing research, focuses on problems of dynamic programming in general, and examines how the skeletal approach successfully parallelizes problems of dynamic programming.
