Description

The alpaka library is a header-only C++17 abstraction library for development across hardware accelerators (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs). Its aim is to provide performance portability across accelerators through the abstraction (not hiding!) of the underlying levels of parallelism. In this poster we will show the concepts behind alpaka, how it is mapped to the various underlying hardware models, and show the features introduced over the last year. In addition, we will also present the software ecosystem surrounding alpaka.
