Way semasiographic!

application of the functional programming paradigm in the context of geometric algorithms

http://www.dinkla.net/fp/thesis.html

The implementation of geometric algorithms is often considered as difficult. This is due to the following three problems: inexact arithmetik, degenerated inputs and the correct implementation of complicated parts. The traditional method of software development is made responsible by researchers for the gap between theory and practice of geometric algorithms. We note, that the first two problems are caused by the nature of geometric problems and the last two problems by the methods of software development and the programming language used.
In the thesis is shown, that complex geometric algorithms can be implemented short, modular und with a high degree of abstractness in the functional programming language Haskell. Therefore functional programming possess the potential to reduce the two last mentioned problems.

Thanks Hayley, James, and Erik. This really helps.

F# how you think … “19. A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing". By Alan Perlis, "Epigrams in Programming"

 

Looking through other functional programming sites for wisdom to use in F#, found this by Seth Gordon.

[Haskell-cafe] the case of the 100-fold program speedup

“ … In other words, I sped up the code by two orders of magnitude. …”

Seth quoted Perlis, and I concur.

How F#, Many/Multi-Core, and, Parallel and Concurrent Changed My World

Wednesday August 19th at 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM*
(Check-in begins at 6:00 PM)

_________________________________________

Event Description:

I'll share my motivations and experiences learning to have FUN with F#.
A quick review of some F# history, a bit more on the state of the F# art, and a few forward looking F# observations.
Start a conversation about building our dreams by harnessing F# to many/multi-cores.
Let's see what we can do with 100,000 times more personal compute power than we had last millennium and a new more expressive language.

Speaker's Bio:

Art Scott's interest in computer graphics started in the 70's; while living at The Berkeley Film House. It led him to a career, as an entrepreneur and intra-entrepreneur, in the Computer Graphic Industry; from Silicon Valley to SoMa.
From circuits to MadAve Art's seen how the power of graphics work; inside and out.
Art is using VS2010, .NET 4, WPF, F#, and multi-/many-cores --
having FUN investigating Tilings and Patterns, and, Parquet Deformations, working on Symmorphmetry, his art project.
Art is a member of the International Society of the Arts, Mathematics, and Architecture (ISAMA); and working on furthering the semasiographic revolution.

Imagining

Let the FUN & games begin

Wednesday, April 01, 2009 10:57:59 AM (Pacific Daylight Time, UTC-07:00)

There is no light without heat...
Some will fight, some will flee.
Consumer visual network for me!
Intel, AMD, IBM I want to watch 4 (at least) games streaming;
To my pixel dust lipstick screen gleaming!
While clicking pizza offer at halftime,
Vid-screening to friends and family distant,
Virtual world interacting and gaming too!
Don’t make me wait while fools debate,
Invest; in parallel and concurrently!
