There's a couple of Common Lisp projects that generate SSE and CUDA code: http://common-lisp.net/project/sb-simd/ http://common-lisp.net/project/sb-simd/ https://github.com/angavrilov/cl-gpu https://github.com/angavrilov/cl-gpu CMUCL comes with SSE2. There hasn't been any effort to revive StarLisp or Paralations or NESL (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~scandal/nesl.html http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~scandal/nesl.html) as libraries on top of that though. Not to be snarky, but the state of the art in data-parallel programming languages hasn't even caught up with NESL yet.
