Description : Framework for working on weather and climate grids
The GridTools (GT) framework is a set of libraries and utilities to develop performance portable applications in which stencil operations on grids are central. The focus of the project is on regular and block-structured grids as are commonly found in the weather and climate application field.
GridTools provides optimized backends for GPUs and manycore architectures. Stencils can be run efficiently on different architectures without any code change needed. Stencils can be built up by small composeable units called stages, using GridTools domain-specific language.
.
GridTools is used within the COSMO model and is used by the ECMWF software already present on Debian.
.
I intend to package this and maintain within the Debian Science team.
