YAPL - Yet Another Parallel Library

YAPL design principles:

1. User code should be the same in sequential and parallel modes. This ideal is not always achievable, but differences are minimized.
2. There should be a clear separation between a container abstraction (a list of values) and its supporting implementation structure (e.g., a linked list of nodes or a vector.).
3. For element access, YAPL uses mappings (a generalization of ranges). It does not use the C++ standard library iterators because iterators are inherently sequential.
4. It should be easy to select the execution policy for an application (sequential, parallel, GPU, …).

YAPL structure:

• CONTAINER – provides a minimal interface for the container abstraction. A key property of a container is that it provides mechanisms for generating mappings to that container;
• SUPPORT STRUCTURE – implements a concrete strategy that can be used by multiple containers;
• MAPPING – provides an interface to operate on a subset of container elements. Different subsets may be generated through different defining criteria;
• ALGORITHM – an operation that can be applied to any mapping;
• POLICY – allows the programmer to configure how operations are sequenced and elements allocated.

Operating Systems

• All platforms that support ANSI C++ and PThreads

Compilers
