• awesome-programming-languages - Futhark - High-performance purely functional data-parallel array programming on the GPU. Futhark is a small programming language designed to be compiled to efficient parallel code. It is a statically typed, data-parallel, and purely functional array language in the ML family, and comes with a heavily optimising ahead-of-time compiler that presently generates GPU code via CUDA and OpenCL, although the language itself is hardware-agnostic and can also run on multicore CPUs.

 The Futhark Programming Language

Futhark is a purely functional data-parallel programming language in

the ML family.  It can be compiled to typically very efficient

parallel code, running on either a CPU or GPU.  The language is

developed at [DIKU](http://diku.dk) at the University of Copenhagen,

originally as part of the [HIPERFIT centre](http://hiperfit.dk).  It

is quite stable and suitable for practical programming.
