| Summary : An embedded language for accelerated array processing
|
Description :
\'Data.Array.Accelerate\' defines an embedded array language for 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.
[/A simple example/]
As a simple example, consider the computation of a dot product of two vectors
of floating point numbers:
> dotp :: Acc (Vector Float) -> Acc (Vector Float) -> Acc (Scalar Float) > dotp
xs ys = fold (+) 0 (zipWith (*) xs ys)
Except for the type, this code is almost the same as the corresponding Haskell
code on lists of floats. The types indicate that the computation may be
online-compiled for performance - for example, using
\'Data.Array.Accelerate.CUDA\' it may be on-the-fly off-loaded to the GPU.
[/Available backends/]
Currently, there are two backends:
1. An interpreter that serves as a reference implementation of the intended
semantics of the language, which is included in this package.
2. A CUDA backend generating code for CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPUs:
< http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate-cuda>
Several experimental and/or incomplete backends also exist. If you are
particularly interested in any of these, especially with helping to finish
them, please contact us.
1. Cilk/ICC and OpenCL:
< https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate-backend-kit>
2. Another OpenCL backend: < https://github.com/HIPERFIT/accelerate-opencl>
3. A backend to the Repa array library:
< https://github.com/blambo/accelerate-repa>
4. An infrastructure for generating LLVM code, with backends targeting
multicore CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs:
< https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate-llvm/>
[/Additional components/]
The following support packages are available:
1. \'accelerate-cuda\': A high-performance parallel backend targeting
CUDA-enabled NVIDIA GPUs. Requires the NVIDIA CUDA SDK and, for full
functionality, hardware with compute capability 1.1 or greater. See the table
on Wikipedia for supported GPUs:
< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#Supported_GPUs>
2. \'accelerate-examples\': Computational kernels and applications showcasing
/Accelerate/, as well as performance and regression tests.
3. \'accelerate-io\': Fast conversion between /Accelerate/ arrays and other
formats, including \'vector\' and \'repa\'.
4. \'accelerate-fft\': Computation of Discrete Fourier Transforms.
Install them from Hackage with \'cabal install PACKAGE\'
[/Examples and documentation/]
Haddock documentation is included in the package, and a tutorial is available
on the GitHub wiki: < https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate/wiki>
The \'accelerate-examples\' package demonstrates a range of computational kernels
and several complete applications, including:
* An implementation of the Canny edge detection algorithm
* An interactive Mandelbrot set generator
* A particle-based simulation of stable fluid flows
* An /n/-body simulation of gravitational attraction between solid particles
* A cellular automata simulation
* A \"password recovery\" tool, for dictionary lookup of MD5 hashes
* A simple interactive ray tracer
[/Mailing list and contacts/]
* Mailing list: < accelerate-haskell\'googlegroups.com> (discussion of both use
and development welcome).
* Sign up for the mailing list here:
< http://groups.google.com/group/accelerate-haskell>
* Bug reports and issue tracking:
< https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate/issues>
[/Hackage note/]
The module documentation list generated by Hackage is incorrect. The only
exposed modules should be:
* \"Data.Array.Accelerate\"
* \"Data.Array.Accelerate.Interpreter\"
* \"Data.Array.Accelerate.Data.Complex\" .
