Repa (REgular PArallel arrays)

Repa provides high performance, regular, multi-dimensional, shape polymorphic parallel arrays. All numeric data is stored unboxed. Functions written with the Repa combinators are automatically parallel provided you supply +RTS -Nwhatever on the command line when running the program. Repa means "turnip" in Russian. If you don't like turnips then this library probably isn't for you.

Repa is split up into a few packages to help control dependencies.

• ​repa
• ​repa-bytestring
• ​repa-io
• ​repa-algorithms
• ​repa-examples

If you want the lot then just install the examples, and this will pull down the rest.

cabal install repa-examples

Demo

There is also an OSX demo that does edge detection on a video stream:

video: ​low(10MB) ​high(40MB)

• The ​source should compile with XCode 3.2.1, GHC 7.0.3 and Repa 2.0.0, but you need to update and run the CONFIGURE.sh script to point it to your GHC install.
• There are also prebuilt OSX i386 versions for ​two ​four and ​six threads. These just have the corresponding +RTS -N# option baked in, you can set it in the main.m module. Some day I will make it so you can select this from the GUI.
• You can also run the edge detector over a single uncompressed .bmp file using the repa-canny program from the ​repa-examples package.
