FUTHARK-SCRIPT(1) Futhark FUTHARK-SCRIPT(1)

futhark-script - execute FutharkScript expression

futhark script [options...] program [expression]

The command futhark script foo.fut expr will compile foo.fut, run the provided FutharkScript expression expr, and finally print the result to stdout. It is essentially a simpler way to access the evaluation facilities of futhark-literate, and provides the same FutharkScript facilities, with a few additional built-in procedures documented below.

If the provided program does not have a .fut extension, it is assumed to be a previously compiled server-mode program, and simply run directly.

When -e and -f are used, the expressions are run in the order provided, and only the value of the last expression is printed. This implies multiple uses of these options is only useful when they invoke procedures with side effects.

The backend used when compiling Futhark programs (without leading futhark, e.g. just opencl). Defaults to c.
Produce output in the binary data format. Fails if the value is not a primitive or array of primitives.
Pass -D to the executable and show debug prints.
Evaluate this FutharkScript expression. Expressions are run in the order provided.
The program used to perform operations (eg. compilation). Defaults to the binary running futhark script itself.
Read and evaluate FutharkScript expression from this file. Expressions are run in the order provided.
Pass -L to the executable and show debug prints.
Pass an option to benchmark programs that are being run.
Pass an extra option to the compiler when compiling the programs.
Do not run the compiler, and instead assume that the program has already been compiled. Use with caution.
Print verbose information on stderr about directives as they are executing. This is also needed to see #[trace] output.

•
$store "file" v store the value v (which must be a primitive or an array) as a binary value in the given file.

FutharkScript expressions can only refer to names defined in the file passed to futhark script, not any names in imported files.

If the result of the expression does not have an external representation (e.g. is an array of tuples), the value that is printed is misleading and somewhat nonsensical.
