accelerate: An embedded language for accelerated array processing

[ accelerate, bsd3, compilers-interpreters, concurrency, data, library, parallelism ] [ Propose Tags ]

This library defines an embedded language for regular, multi-dimensional array computations with multiple backends to facilitate high-performance implementations. Currently, there are two backends: (1) an interpreter that serves as a reference implementation of the intended semantics of the language and (2) a CUDA backend generating code for CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPUs.

To use the CUDA backend, you need to have CUDA version 3.x installed. The CUDA backend still misses some features of the full language; in particular, the array operations replicate, slice, and foldSeg are not yet supported.

Known bugs in this version: http://trac.haskell.org/accelerate/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&status=closed&version=0.7.1.0&order=priority

  • New in 0.7.1.0: the CUDA backend and a number of scalar functions
