Using Language Oriented Programming to Execute Computations on the GPU with F#
Details
Robert Pickering is in town and will be talking about F#'s support for language oriented programming (LOP). LOP refers to the ability to create an abstract description of a problem, then have this description executed in another environment.
During this talk, Robert will walk us through the design of an F# library that uses LOP techniques to execute matrix calculations on either the CPU or GPU.
We’ll start by taking a look at union types and active patterns, and then we’ll see how these are used by F#’s quotation system to give access to an abstract description of functions. Finally, we’ll see how these descriptions of functions can be translated into computations the GPU understands and can execute.
