∇ Presentation

The ∇ domain-specific language (DSL) provides a productive development way for exascale HPC technologies, flexible enough to be competitive in terms of performances.

This software is a computer program whose purpose is to translate specific numerical-analysis sources and generate optimized code for different targets and architectures.

Latest News

<2015-02-18 Wed> Prototype #150218 released

This is the first release, with ∇ Lulesh as the main example. The ∇ compiler can generate sources from ∇ LULESH to three different backends:

  • Arcane: our CEA's middleware,
  • Cuda,
  • Okina: a C/C++ stand-alone fully vectorized backend for standard compilers with OpenMP, Cilk+ or MPC.

Several other tests are given as examples:

  • CoMD: a ∇ port of the 'Molecular Dynamics Proxy Applications Suite', one of many proxy applications that support of the ExMatEx Co-Design Center;
  • Implicit schemes: Heat, DDFV (Discret Dual Finite Volume scheme), MNLDDFV (Monotone Non-Linear Finite Volume Method for Approximating Diffusion Operators on General Meshes), Schrodinger;
  • Explicit hydro schemes: Glace (3D), Sethi (2D), M(icro)Hydro, S(imple)Hhydro;
  • Other grammatical tests: GAD, Fermat, Nahea.
