"Array of structs" -> "Struct of arrays"?

I guess if you generalize this transformation sufficiently you end up doing whole-program flattening like NESL and DPH. Or is there a less intrusive way to pull that off?

Sounds like in his case the unboxed vector soa rep might be enough, though I'd enjoy hearing more about this too. (Doing some gpu work with Haskell a bunch this fall)

I don't think there's a less intrusive way to pull it off, but with sufficient compiler support you should be able to make it fairly transparent to the programmer.
