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.

Download

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

repa The base library, defining the array type and combinators.
repa-bytestring Conversions to and from ByteString.
repa-io Reading and writing arrays in various formats, including BMP.
repa-algorithms Some reusable matrix algorithms.
repa-devil Bindings to the DevIL image library.
repa-examples Example applications.

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.
