digitalmars.D - DSLs for high performance computing
- Andrei Alexandrescu (5/5) Jun 18 2014 A coworker brought this list to my attention:
- Guillaume Chatelet (14/18) Jun 24 2014 I didn't know most of them.
- matovitch (17/36) Jun 25 2014 Halide looks just *mind-blowing* though I couldn't find any
- Peter Alexander (6/8) Jun 25 2014 Is it?
- deadalnix (2/10) Jun 25 2014 Hack ?
- Peter Alexander (5/18) Jun 25 2014 Maybe, although I see Hack as more of an extension of PHP, and
A coworker brought this list to my attention: https://xstackwiki.modelado.org/DSL%27s The work on such DSLs (reminiscent of Don's work on optimizing matrix operations years ago) seems be on the rise. Andrei

I encourage everybody interested in Image/Signal Processing to have a look at Halide Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uiEyEKji0M papers http://halide-lang.org/ I don't know if it's already available in the source code but they mention the scheduling part can now be optimized through genetic algorithms : the code will autotune to use the best of your hardware, exploring the space of precomputing (stencil buffer), inlining, multithreading, vectorization, unrolling, sliding window ... Thanks for sharing Andrei :)

I couldn't find anything either in the doc about the automatic scheduling they mention in their paper. I am wondering if it is possible to perform linalg operations, it seems rather convolution-oriented. Anyway, it would be awesome to have a D front-end (not that I have the time to code it, I usually just talk ;)). Else : Preferably to DSLs though, I am more waiting something as basic as containers based on std.allocator or a standard multi-dimensional array (with range behaviour based on a permutation of the dimensions and allow borrowed slices of any subspace). Well in fact I am not waiting since I do not have the time to code in D but if I had the time this is what I would be waiting/working for.

It would be good for D if it is, since D has a great offering in that arena, but I haven't seen much, if any, new DSL work recently. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

I suppose it depends on your definition of "domain specific". Not worth arguing over, but I take your point.On Wednesday, 18 June 2014 at 19:00:26 UTC, Andrei Alexandrescu wrote:Hack ?The work on such DSLs (reminiscent of Don's work on optimizing matrix operations years ago) seems be on the rise.Is it?
