Dear Haskellers, You may be interested in the Reduceron:
http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~mfn/reduceron/index.html Here is a flavour: "The Reduceron is a processor for executing Haskell programs on FPGA with the aim of exploring how custom architectural features can improve the speed in which Haskell functions are evaluated. Being described entirely in Haskell (using Lava), the Reduceron also serves as an interesting application of functional languages to the design of complex control circuits such as processors. To program the Reduceron we provide a basic Haskell compiler, called Tred, that translates Yhc.Core programs into codes of the Reduceron's instruction set. The Tred compiler and Reduceron processor are in the early stages of development: they are both fairly naive, inefficient, and lacking in many important features. But they represent a good start, already capable of correctly compiling and executing (on FPGA) a reasonable range of Haskell programs." See webpage for more details.
