  Description     : Task scheduler for heterogeneous multicore machines

StarPU is a runtime system that offers support for heterogeneous multicore
machines. While many efforts are devoted to design efficient computation kernels
for those architectures (e.g. to implement BLAS kernels on GPUs or on Cell's
SPUs), StarPU not only takes care of offloading such kernels (and implementing
data coherency across the machine), but it also makes sure the kernels are
executed as efficiently as possible.

Completely free packages will be uploaded to main, and packages
depending on CUDA will be uploaded to contrib.
