KAAPI means Kernel for Adaptative, Asynchronous Parallel and Interactive programming. It is a C++ library that allows to execute multithreaded computation with data flow synchronization between threads. The library is able to schedule fine/medium size grain program on distributed machine. The data flow graph is dynamic (unfold at runtime). Target architectures are clusters of SMP machines.Main features are * It is based on work-stealing algorithms ; * It can run on various processors ; * It can run on various architectures (clusters or grids) ; * It contains non-blocking and scalable algorithms.
