Especially interesting to me this year are the several biology related talks and events:

  • ICFP: Sneaking Around concatMap — Efficient Combinators for Dynamic Programming, Christian Höner zu Siederdissen (University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria)
  • ICFP: Experience Report: Haskell in Computational Biology,
    Noah M. Daniels, Andrew Gallant, and Norman Ramsey (Tufts University)
  • OUD: Biocaml: The OCaml Bioinformatics Library, Ashish Agarwal, Sebastien Mondet, Philippe Veber, Christophe Troestler, Francois Berenger
  • CUFP BoF: FP in the Life Sciences
  • CUFP: Functional Big-Data Genomics, Ashish Agarwal, Sebastien Mondet, Paul Scheid, Aviv Madar, Richard Bonneau, Jane Carlton, Kristin C. Gunsalus
  • CUFP: Microsoft: Using F# to Prove Stabilization of Biological Networks, Samin Ishtiaq
  • CUFP: IntelliFactory: Developing an F# Bioinformatics Application with HTML5 Visualization, Adam Granicz
  • CUFP: factis research: Developing Medical Software in Scala and Haskell, Stefan Wehr

Quite an impressive list! Hopefully I’m not being too optimistic in thinking we just might move Biology past the dark ages of Perl.

I’ll be back in Tokyo, this time for the Shonan Meeting on Bridging the Theory of Staged Programming Languages and the Practice of High-Performance Computing. My talk will be on BINQ, a domain-specific-language for genomic computations.

I’ve been having a great time at ICFP in Tokyo. I spent the first day at the ML Workshop, and am now enjoying CUFP after presenting my own tutorial on creating collaborative scientific software in OCaml.

Hello NYU. http://ashishagarwal.org/2010/10/27/goodbye-yale-hello-nyu/ http://ashishagarwal.org/2010/10/27/goodbye-yale-hello-nyu/#comments Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:25:10 +0000 http://ashishagarwal.org/?p=111 Continue reading →]]> It’s official. I’m moving to NYU. This will be a great opportunity for me to push my agenda of bringing functional programming techniques to biology. I’m fortunate enough to be working there with Kris Gunsalus and Rich Bonneau.

Many thanks to Michael Stern, Mark Gerstein, and Paul Hudak, all of whose labs I worked with at different times during the last few years. I will miss Yale and New Haven. But I’m looking forward to living in Manhattan!

Autotuning is an approach for generating efficient code for high performance computing. I’ll try to summarize how my PL work can contribute to and benefit from this approach.
