OPS

OPS (Oxford Parallel library for Structured mesh solvers) is a high-level embedded domain specific language for writing multi-block structured mesh algorithms, and the corresponding software library and code translation tools to enable automatic parallelisation on multi-core and many-core architectures. Multi-block structured meshes. The OPS API is embedded in C/C++ and Fortran.

Build Status Documentation Status

This repository contains the implementation of the back-end library and the code-generator, and is structured as follows:

  • ops: Implementation of the user and run-time OPS C/C++ APIs
  • apps: Application examples in C. These are examples of user application code and also include the target parallel code generated by the OPS code generato r.
  • ops_translator: Python/Clang/Fparser/jinja2 based OPS code generator for C/C++/Fortran API (New code generation engine). Note: Please refer to the instructions provided on Read the Docs. for details on Python dependencies required to utilize this code generation.
  • ops_translator_legacy: Python OPS code generator for C/C++/Fortran API (Old code generation engine)
  • scripts : example scripts for setting environmental variables and testing applications
  • cmake : cmake installation files
  • makefiles : makefile based installation files
  • doc: Documentation
