ispc compiles a C-based SPMD programming language to run on the SIMD units of CPUs and GPUs; it frequently provides a 3x or more speedup on architectures with 4-wide vector SSE units and 5x-6x on ...

Back in 2023, Chris Lattner, creator of LLVM, and his team at Modular unveiled a new language called Mojo. Its syntax resembled Python, but it compiled to machine-native code and offered memory-safety ...

When the Mojo language first appeared, it was promoted as being the best of two worlds, bringing the ease of use and clear syntax of Python, along with the speed and memory safety of Rust. For some ...

HP calculators, slide rules, and Forth all have something in common: reverse polish notation or RPN. Admittedly, slide rules don’t really have RPN, but you work problems on them the same way you do ...

Jou has classes. They can have methods, but otherwise they are very much like structs in C. There is no inheritance or other fancy features (see design goals and non-goals below). However, classes can ...

I’ve been running into a lot of happy and excited scientists lately. “Running into” in the virtual sense, of course, as conferences and other opportunities to collide with scientists in meatspace have ...

Array programming provides a powerful, compact and expressive syntax for accessing, manipulating and operating on data in vectors, matrices and higher-dimensional arrays. NumPy is the primary array ...
