Kokkos

Kokkos: Core Libraries

Kokkos Core implements a programming model in C++ for writing performance portable applications targeting all major HPC platforms. For that purpose it provides abstractions for both parallel execution of code and data management. Kokkos is designed to target complex node architectures with N-level memory hierarchies and multiple types of execution resources. It currently can use CUDA, HIP, SYCL, HPX, OpenMP and C++ threads as backend programming models with several other backends in development.

Kokkos Core is part of the Kokkos C++ Performance Portability Programming EcoSystem.

Learning about Kokkos

To start learning about Kokkos:

  • Kokkos Lectures: they contain a mix of lecture videos and hands-on exercises covering all the important Kokkos Ecosystem capabilities.

  • Programming guide: contains in "narrative" form a technical description of the programming model, machine model, and the main building blocks like the Views and parallel dispatch.

  • API reference: organized by category, i.e., core, algorithms and containers or, if you prefer, in alphabetical order.

  • Use cases and Examples: a series of examples ranging from how to use Kokkos with MPI to Fortran interoperability.

For questions find us on Slack: https://kokkosteam.slack.com or open a github issue.

For non-public questions send an email to: crtrott(at)sandia.gov
