| PackageDescription | Framework for storage and computation on Weather and Climate Grids
The GridTools (GT) framework is a set of libraries and utilities to develop
performance portable applications in which stencil operations on grids are
central. It provides regular and block-structured grids commonly found in the
weather and climate application field, addresses the challenges that arise
from integration into production code, such as the expression of boundaryi
conditions, or conditional execution. The framework is structured such that
it can be called from different weather models or programming interfaces,
and can target various computer architectures. This is achieved by separating
the GT core library in a user facing part (frontend) and architecture specific
(backend) parts. The core library also abstracts various possible data layouts
and applies optimizations on stages with multiple stencils.
The core library is complemented by facilities to interoperate with other
languages (such as C and Fortran), to aid code development and a communication
layer. |
