[ANN] accelerate-0.15
Friends, I am pleased to announce the release of the Accelerate 0.15 family of packages. Accelerate defines an embedded language of array computations for high performance computing in Haskell. Computations on multi-dimensional, regular arrays are expressed in the form of parameterised collective operations, such as maps, reductions, and permutations. These computations may then be online compiled and executed on a range of architectures, such as GPUs. This release brings mainly bug fixes and performance improvements. The following packages are available on Hackage: accelerate The language definition and reference implementation accelerate-cuda A high performance parallel backend targeting NVIDIA GPUs accelerate-io Fast conversion between Accelerate arrays and other formats, including ‘vector’ and ‘repa’. accelerate-fft Discrete Fourier transforms, backed by CUFFT where available accelerate-examples Computational kernels and applications showcasing Accelerate The code can be found on GitHub, where you can also submit issues: https://github.com/AccelerateHS https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate/issues Finally, there is also a mailing list that can be used for both use and development discussions: accelerate-haskell@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/accelerate-haskell -The Accelerate Team
Excellent! Now here comes my number 1 feature request for the next version: IO/ST arrays/computations in accelerate, so that I can implement stuff that can work on a 1GB device array with interleaved IO, without having to download and-re-upload that array every time. Keep up the good work!
[Sorry for duplicates, but I first had the wrong sender address.] We always very gladly accept pull requests! :) In any case, please add feature requests as tickets to the GitHub issue tracker (so they don’t get lost): https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate/issues We are trying our best to add requested functionality, but our resources are also very limited — hence, any contributions are most welcome.
