Try Sarek in your Browser

You can experiment with Sarek without installing anything on your local machine using Binder.

Binder provides a temporary cloud environment with OCaml 5.4, the Sarek framework, and a Jupyter notebook interface already configured.

Launch the Environment

Click the button below to start your private Sarek playground:

(Note: It may take a few minutes to build the environment the first time you click this link.)

What’s included?

• OCaml 5.4.0: Fully utilizing the modern multicore runtime.
• Sarek Framework: The core DSL and the Native Parallel backend.
• Interactive Notebooks: Real-world examples you can edit and run immediately.

Why Binder?

Since GPGPU programming typically requires specialized hardware (NVIDIA/AMD GPUs), it can be difficult to try out for the first time.

By using the Native CPU Backend, Sarek allows you to run parallel kernels on standard cloud CPUs. The code you write here is identical to the code you would run on a high-end data-center GPU.

Next Steps

Once the notebook launches:

1. Open Introduction_to_Sarek.ipynb.
2. Run the cells to initialize the library.
3. Modify the kernel logic to see how it affects the results!
