Futhark is a purely functional data-parallel programming language in the ML family. It can be compiled to typically very efficient parallel code, running on either a CPU or GPU. The language is developed at DIKU at the University of Copenhagen, originally as part of the HIPERFIT centre. It is quite stable and suitable for practical programming.
