http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsyme/archive/2011/04/22/a-necomer-to-the-blogosphere-the-f-team-blog-at-microsoft.aspxWe have recently created an F# Team blog . Here's the intro to our first blog post . We'll gradually be ramping up our use of this blog for announncements and other material, though we'll also be continuing our own personal blogging, though its earlyen-GBTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsyme/archive/2011/04/22/a-necomer-to-the-blogosphere-the-f-team-blog-at-microsoft.aspx#10159105Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:14:26 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10159105Sam<p>Hi F# team</p> <p>I have an HPC question that I suspect would be of interest to a large number of performance-oriented programmers as the description of F# as a language suited for data-mining has attracted me to learn the language and some functional programming - very impressed so far.</p> <p>Are there any plans for F# to vectorize (as in SIMD and SSE) the parallel code it generates for data parallel numerical computations if they are given the right compiler hints via the &quot;{}&quot; constructs and &quot;let!&quot;. My question is naturally also a .NET framework question. My research in HPC shows that to get the maximum performance out of current hardware it is optimal not only to be taking advantage of multiple sockets and cores BUT also the vector-level parallelism sitting in our CPUs.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Sam</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10159105" width="1" height="1">
