Abstract (of the application - not yet updated with the official project plan)
The goal of this proposal is to develop domain specific embedded languages for resource-aware functional programming, with associated tool-chains, that can deliver an order of magnitude improved productivity in three domains of importance to Swedish industry:
- signal processing and low-level control in products such as radio base stations,
- programming highly parallel heterogeneous architectures containing graphics processors for tasks such as medical image processing,
- real-time automotive software built around the AutoSAR standard.
Our milestones after two years are:
- A complete tool chain for digital signal processing (based on current Feldspar) including preliminary industrial case studies.
- A prototype tool chain programming machines containing one or more GPU.
- A prototype tool chain for part of the automotive application area.
and after five years:
- Broadened applicability (within the software stack) for the future Feldspar tool chain
- Real case studies of the application of Feldspar technology
- A complete tool chain for the Automotive DSL
- A complete tool chain for programming GPUs
- A general framework and design principles for DSL development
To achieve the goal, we will have to perform disciplinary research at the frontiers of the fields of domain specific language design and implementation and of program testing. We will have to develop new methods of expressing, controlling and analysing resource use in highly parallel machines.
