F# has a number of features that support language oriented programming (LOP) – the ability to create an abstract description of a problem then have this description executed in another environment. In this talk we’ll look at the design of an F# library that uses LOP techniques to a user execute matrix calculations either on the CPU or GPU. We’ll examine the features that F# provides to support this technique. We’ll start by taking a look at union types and active patterns, and then we’ll see how these are used by F#’s quotation system to give access to an abstract description of functions. Finally, we’ll see how these descriptions of functions can then be translated into computations the GPU understands and executed.
