vparallel
Vparallel is a term used in computing to describe approaches and software projects that enable virtual parallelism in software systems. The goal is to allow developers to express work at a high level and have a runtime map that executes it efficiently across available hardware resources, including CPU cores, GPUs, and accelerators, while abstracting away low-level thread management and synchronization details.
The programming model typically centers on tasks as units of work with optional dependencies. Work is organized
Architecture usually comprises a front-end API for defining tasks and data, a core scheduling engine, and a
Performance characteristics vary with workload and implementation. Vparallel is well suited for embarrassingly parallel or moderately
