That's why you have people working on Halide, Taichi, DaCe, Tiramisu.

- https://halide-lang.org/

- http://taichi.graphics/

- http://spcl.inf.ethz.ch/Research/DAPP/

- http://tiramisu-compiler.org/

This way you can have a researcher implementing the algorithm (say bilinear filtering) and a HPC expert who tunes it with parallelism, SIMD, tiling.

I wrote an overview of most DSL for high performance or image processing in this issue: https://github.com/mratsim/Arraymancer/issues/347#issuecomme...

This is great! Which of these do you think could be extended to general-purpose programming without the HPC expert? Taichi and DAPP seem to be aimed at that goal, but you seem to be implying they don't reach it yet?

You can use them without the HPC expert, Halide for example has a good autotuner and has been used by Google and Adobe to create image filters for mobile devices.
