Abstract:This paper introduces a new approach to optimising array algorithms in functional languages. We are specifically aiming at an efficient implementation of irregular array algorithms that are hard to implement in conventional array languages such as Fortran. We optimise the storage layout of arrays containing complex data structures and reduce the running time of functions operating on these arrays by means of equational program transformations. In particular, this paper discusses a novel form of combinator loop… Show more
