Accelerate
High-Performance Parallel Arrays for Haskell
Accelerate is a free, general-purpose, open-source library that simplifies the process of developing software that targets massively parallel architectures including multicore CPUs and GPUs.
Make it work, make it fast!
Accelerate is a language for array-based computations, designed to exploit massive parallelism. Programs in Accelerate are expressed in the form of collective operations on dense multi-dimensional arrays, which are online compiled and executed on a range of architectures including multicore CPUs and GPUs.
Be productive, be correct.
Embedded in the advanced functional programming language Haskell, Accelerate programs are declarative, statically-typed, pure, functional, and ready to exploit all of the performance of modern parallel hardware. The combination of a strong type system, high-level code, and interactive development environment, allows you to develop code quickly with the confidence that it is correct.
The core philosophy of Accelerate is to combine performance, productivity, and portability into a single language and compiler: quickly write the compute-intensive part of your program in a high-level style and leave Accelerate to work on the details of code transformation for the target architecture.
