The open source Futhark makes it easier to program for GPUs that speed up machine learning and other math-intensive apps.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Computer Science recently unveiled Futhark, an open source functional programming language designed for creating code that runs on GPUs, for use in machine learning and other high-performance applications.  

Futhark is meant to be more convenient to use than standard C/C++ frameworks for programming GPUs. It can automatically generate both C and Python code to be integrated with existing apps.
