The Futhark Programming Language

Futhark is a purely functional data-parallel programming language in the ML family. It can be compiled to typically very efficient parallel code, running on either a CPU or GPU. The language and compiler are developed at DIKU at the University of Copenhagen, originally as part of the HIPERFIT centre. The language and compiler are quite stable and suitable for practical programming.

Hacking

We try to make use of GitHub issues for organising our work. Issues tagged with good first issue do not require deep knowledge of the code base.
