Re: Fwd: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell for Physicists

Of all the projects that are in the HackageDB, how many, or what % do you say developed an EDSL? daryoush On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 3:06 PM, Xiao-Yong Jin wrote:

Hey all,

Following up on this, I'm presenting a position paper tomorrow on the use of EDSLs to improve productivity and lower cost when developing code for new high performance architectures (like GPUs).

It advocates for Haskell + EDSLs, much as we have been discussing in this thread.

I'm very interested in EDSL in high performance architectures. Can you give me some idea what the performance might be using code written in Haskell+EDSL compared to C/C++? I think, in high performance computing, the efficiency in the resulting binary code largely depends on the problem domain. Can haskell help a lot in optimizing the EDSL to machine binary? And what would be the efficiency in terms of space and time?
