Dear Racketeers,
I, as a programmer in the area of numerics, just evolved to the state where the following task seem reasonable to work on: - I need to take (or invent) some DSL for numerical computations. All I need is: variables and functions, vectors, loops, arithmetics on numbers and vectors, sin/cos/log/expt and friends, and some very trivial linear algebra (3x3 matrices basically). - I need to wrote equations in this DSL and convert them to high-speed C. While Racket's JIT does a great job, it does lack things that modern C compilers have, like OpenMP, SSE/AVX instructions, restricted pointers and such. Even without all this, C code is 1.5x-2x faster according to my experience. - I need to take derivatives of equations that I wrote in my DSL, symbolically, and have them converted to C too. I suspect I am not the only one who wants that. There must be some work already done. What would you advise to start with? A quick search gave me the following: Honu https://docs.racket-lang.org/honu/ Magnolisp http://magnolisp.github.io/ RAI http://zwizwa.be/rai/ What do you think is the most appropriate for the task? Is there anything else? Many thanks in advance Regards, Dmitry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
