Abstract

GPUs are massively parallel multi-core processors optimised for workloads with a large degree of SIMD parallelism. While they can offer excellent performance, they generally provide a restrictive programming model and require expert knowledge to fully utilize.

In this talk, I’ll give a general tutorial on programming in Accelerate, an embedded domain-specific language for array programming in Haskell. I’ll show how Accelerate addresses these issues, making efficient GPU programming accessible to ordinary functional programmers.
