Static Interpretation of Higher-order Modules in Futhark: Functional GPU Programming in the Large

    Abstract

    We present a higher-order module system for the purely functional data-parallel array language Futhark. The module language has the property that it is completely eliminated at compile time, yet it serves as a powerful tool for organizing libraries and complete programs. The presentation includes a static and a dynamic semantics for the language in terms of, respectively, a static type system and a provably terminating elaboration of terms into terms of an underlying target language. The development is formalised in Coq using a novel encoding of semantic objects based on products, sets, and finite maps. The module language features a unified treatment of module type abstraction and core language polymorphism and is rich enough for expressing practical forms of module composition.
