A large amount of numerically-oriented code is written and is being written in legacy languages. Much of this code could, in principle, make good use of data-parallel throughput-oriented computer architectures. Loo.py, a transformation-based ...

MATLAB to C translation is foreseen to raise the overall abstrac-tion level when mapping computations to embedded systems (pos-sibly consisting of software and hardware components), and thus for increasing productivity and for providing an automated ...

We present an approach for compiling a rich subset of APL into data-parallel programs that can be executed on GPUs. The compiler is based on the AplTail compiler, which compiles APL programs into a typed array intermediate language, called TAIL. We ...

We present a toolkit called Velociraptor that can be used by compiler writers to quickly build compilers and other tools for array-based languages. Velociraptor operates on its own unique intermediate representation (IR) designed to support a variety ...

For scientific array-based programs, optimization for a particular target platform is a hard problem. There are many optimization techniques such as (semantics-preserving) source code transformations, compiler directives, environment variables, and ...

Client-side web programming currently means using technologies embedded in web browsers to run computations on the client computer. Most solutions imply using JavaScript which allows to describe computations, and modifications of the DOM displayed by ...

Dyalog APL is a tool of thought for information experts, enabling rapid development of domain-centric software without the costly software engineering feedback loop often required. The Dyalog APL interpreter introduces performance constraints that ...

Image processing pipelines are continuously being developed to deduce more information about objects captured in images. To facilitate the development of such pipelines several Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) have been proposed that provide constructs ...

A review of previous array Pascals leads on to a description the Glasgow Pascal compiler. The compiler is an ISO-Pascal superset with semantic extensions to translate data parallel statements to run on multiple SIMD cores. An appendix is given which ...

Programming with abstract, mathematical expressions offers benefits including terser programs, easier communication of algorithms, ability to prove theorems about algorithms, increased parallelism, and improved programming productivity. Common belief ...
