Comment:
Unfortunately, compiling Haskell to CUDA is impossible as GPUs do not
support recursive functions and general function pointers. You may want
to have a look at the following paper to see how a ''very restricted
subset'' of Haskell can be compiled to CUDA:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/acc-cuda.pdf
The library is available on Hackage if you want to try for yourself. (No
extension to GHC is required as it is an embedded language in a library.)
