SaC is an array programming language that combines high-productivity (similar to Matlab or Python) with high-performance (typical of hand-tuned Fortran or CUDA). We are exploring:

• parallelisation through the flick of a compiler switch
• optimised code generation for a variety of parallel platforms including GPGPUs
• dynamic recompilation / adaptation of programs for optimal resource utilisation on heterogeneous systems
• novel approaches to high-productivity in graph algorithms
• enhanced generic programming for vastly increased software reuse
• novel data types for improved vector processing
• new ways of subtyping-based generic programming for improved correctness and performance
