Towards Verified Scalable Parallel Computing with Coq and Spark.

SyDPaCC (Systematic Development of programs for Parallel and Cloud Computing) is a framework for the Coq interactive theorem prover. It allows to systematically develop correct parallel programs from specifications via verified and automated program transformations. The obtained programs are scalable, i.e. able to run on numerous processors. SyDPaCC produces programs written in the multi-paradigm and functional programming language OCaml with calls to the BSML (Bulk Synchronous parallel ML) parallel programming library. In this paper we present ongoing work towards an extension of SyDPaCC to be able to produce Scala programs using Apache Spark for parallel processing.
