RedGrapes: Resource-based, Declarative Task-Graphs for Parallel Event-driven Scheduling

We present RedGrapes, a free C++14 framework providing a runtime system to facilitate coarse-grain task-parallelism on heterogeneous shared-memory platforms using a paradigm known as sequential task-flow (STF). Thereby parallelism is derived implicitly through the analysis of resource accesses, while the user declares tasks as if they were executed sequentially. Besides improving clarity and maintainability of the client code, this approach enables optimization of task scheduling during runtime.
