Futhark by Example
Key takeaways
- Some of the example programs use directives for plotting or rendering graphics.
- Literate Futhark allows direct use of gnuplot.
- The following examples are ported from Dex, a dependently typed functional array language that uses a somewhat different approach to describing loop processing.
The following is a hands-on introduction to Futhark through a collection of commented programs, listed in roughly increasing order of complexity. You can load the programs into the interpreter to experiment with them. For a conventional introduction to the language, Parallel Programming in Futhark may be a better choice. For more examples, you can check our implemented benchmarks. We also maintain a list of projects using Futhark.
