K'Star Action
Keywords: Parallel computing - Task-based algorithm - Runtime system - Task scheduling - OpenMP - Source-to-source compiler - Data parallelism
Functional Description
The K'Star action supports the development of Klang-Omp, a source-to-source compiler that turns C and C++ programs with OpenMP pragmas to C programs with calls to either the StarPU or the XKaapi runtime system, as well as the development of the KaStORS benchmarks suite for experimenting with OpenMP dependent tasks.
