Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of this project is to investigate the design and implementation of categorical languages allowing high levels of abstraction, portability and efficient implementation. It is to be based on the existing language Aldor and its implementations: and it will address in particular the implementation of the algorithms used for computations of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) on lattice. This project will form a feasibility study into whether it is possible to extract sufficient performance without losing abstraction for scientific computing.
