Abstract
Using Erlang and a library written in C using OpenMP we implemented an algorithm that utilizes both parallel and distributed computing to find cycles in a graph which represents debtors. These cycles are then used to perform debt reconciliation between debtors. In the thesis we attempt to establish whether Erlang is suitable for the implementation of a work distribution component in a distributed system. After testing on random generated small-world graphs we conclude that Erlang in it's pure form is not appropriate for that task.
