Game developers are really struggling to get performance out of the Playstation 3 console. This console has a single PowerPC CPU with 6 Cell SPU coprocessors, all running at 3.3GHz. These SPUs have 256KB very high speed local RAM, and data from the 512MB main memory can stream in and out via DMA into these SPUs. The problem is that with imperative approaches this is a nightmare to manage….
It would be a very cool project to show that Haskell could run on such a platform, making it easier to take advance of its awesome power J
Cool idea :-) Hmmm, random thought along similar lines, I mean I know the answer to this thought is no, but I'm curious: could we get Haskell to run on a graphics card??? I mean, I'm guessing the answer is no (not a difficult guess ;-) ), but curious what it would take to make a graphics card able to run Haskell?
