SwLoc
Software Contexts for Locality
Keywords: HPC - Locality - Contexts - Multicore - GPU
Functional Description: SwLoc is a library for flexible and generic partitioning of computing resources (processors, accelerators) to be able to co-excute confined parallel regions which can rely on different runtime systems (e.g. OpenMP, Intel TBB, StarPU, etc.). With all different hypervisor strategies, It is possible to adapt dynamically the computing resources of each context, in order to match each parallel region's need as closely as possible.
