Futhark 0.5.1 发布，小型全新的函数式编程语言

  

Futhark 0.5.1 已发布。

Futhark 是一个小型全新的函数式编程语言，可编译为高性能的 GPU 代码。使用静态类型、并行数据以及纯函数数组语言。该语言对编译器提前进行重度的优化，通过 OpenCL 生成 GPU 代码。Futhark 并非为图形编程而设计，通过使用 GPU 来加速并行的数组计算，支持常规嵌套的数据并行化处理。

Futhark 使用 Haskell 语言开发。

该版本的主要变化是切换到新的版本方案，以后发布的版本号永远不会以.0结束。这个版本是一个稳定和整合的版本。

具体更新如下：

Added

• Entry points need no longer be syntactically first-order.

• Added overloaded numeric literals (#532). This means type
  suffixes are rarely required.

• Binary and unary operators may now be bound in patterns by
  enclosing them in parenthesis.

• futhark-doc now produces much nicer documentation. Markdown is
  now supported in documentation comments.

• /futlib/functional now has operators >-> and <-< for
  function composition. <<| are |>> are deprecated.

• /futlib/segmented now has a segmented_reduce.

• Scans and reductions can now be horizontally fused.

• futhark-bench now supports multiple entry points, just like
  futhark-test.

• ".." is now supported in include paths.

Removed

• The reshape construct has been removed. Use the
  flatten/unflatten functions instead.

• concat and rotate no longer support the @ notation. Use
  map nests instead.

• Removed -I/--library. These never worked with
  futhark-test/futhark-bench anyway.

Changed

• When defining a module type, a module of the same name is no
  longer defined (#538).

• The default keyword is no longer supported.

• /futlib/merge_sort and /futlib/radix_sort now define
  functions instead of modules.

Fixed

• Better type inference for rearrange and rotate.

• import path resolution is now much more robust.
