StarUP 通常用来帮助高性能的类库和编译环境探索不同体系结构的多核架构。
StarPU is a set of GCC extensions and associated runtime system intended to facilitate the programming of heterogeneous systems - computers with a programmable graphics processing unit, for example. “StarPU typically makes it much easier for high performance libraries or compiler environments to exploit heterogeneous multicore machines possibly equipped with GPGPUs or Cell processors: rather than handling low-level issues, programmers may concentrate on algorithmic concerns.”
