Would this collapse to just using matrix library bindings? I.e.
lapack, fftw, blas...
I'd use, e.g.,
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/hmatrix
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/fft
Another idea for a code-off, that we did up here in Portland, is to
parallelise the shootout entries for your favourite language,
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all
Love Erlang, parallelise some of its entries for SMP...
It's a lot of fun, and you learn about some of the real world issues of
multicore paralleism in your $language, and about how much fun it is
porting non-parallel code to multicore.
