Harlan: a Language That Simplifies GPU Programming

[sl4shd0t]

hypnosec writes "Harlan – a declarative programming language that simplifies development of applications running on GPU has been released by a researcher at Indian University. Erik Holk released his work publicly after working on it for two years. Harlan's syntax is based on Scheme – a dialect of LISP programming language. The language aims to help developers make productive and efficient use of GPUs by enabling them to carry out their actual work while it takes care of the routine GPU programming tasks. The language has been designed to support GPU programming and it works much closer to the hardware." Also worth a mention is Haskell's GPipe interface to programmable GPUs. http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Harlan%3A+a+Language+That+Simplifies+G PU+Programming%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F15jKZMv) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F07%2F05%2F0136229%2Fharlan-a-language-that-simplifies-gpu-programming%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3 Dfacebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/07/05/0136229/harlan-a-language-that-simplifies-gpu-programming?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
