Futhark is another language with the same goals, executed differently.
Yet, it runs on massively parallel hardware like GPUs, with near-linear speedup
What a bold claim...
@eveninghere @ruffsl that claim's correct. But so far it doesn't have great performance on a single core.
Sorry, how could it be correct? On that page there's no explanation on what they're measuring to begin with. No mention on the benchmark set up either. There are problems that can never scale linearly due to the reality of hardware.
the "will linearly speedup anything [to the amount of parallel computation available]" claim is so stupid that I think it's more likely they meant "only has a linear slowdown compared to a basic manual parallel implementation of the same algorithm"
Good thing they don’t claim that. Read the README, they make very nuanced and reasonable claims about their very impressive language
