About
Skandium targets parallel programming of multi-core architectures. Skandium is a complete re-implementation of Calcium, an algorithmic skeleton library which is part of the ProActive Parallel Suite which focuses mainly on distributed architectures such as Clusters and Grids.
The objective of Skandium is to provide a high-level parallel programming model for multi-core machines. The high-level parallel programming model is that of parallel patterns, also known as algorithmic skeletons. Using a basic set of parallel patterns, more complex applications can be represented by combining the basic ones.
Skandium is currently developed at NICLabs, the applied research and technology transfer laboratory of NIC Chile, and part of the Department of Computer Science (DCC) of the University of Chile.
Currently, Skandium is developed in Java by Mario Leyton and is released under the GPL v3 License.
