Futhark 0.5.1 已釋出。

Futhark 是一個小型全新的函數語言程式設計語言，可編譯為高效能的 GPU 程式碼。使用靜態型別、並行資料以及純函式陣列語言。該語言對編譯器提前進行重度的優化，通過OpenCL生成 GPU 程式碼。Futhark 並非為圖形程式設計而設計，通過使用 GPU 來加速並行的陣列計算，支援常規巢狀的資料並行化處理。

Futhark 使用Haskell語言開發。

該版本的主要變化是切換到新的版本方案，以後釋出的版本號永遠不會以 .0 結束。這個版本是一個穩定和整合的版本。

具體更新如下：

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.
