Package

gasnet

Description

GASNet is a language-independent, networking middleware layer that
provides network-independent, high-performance communication primitives
including Remote Memory Access (RMA) and Active Messages (AM). It has
been used to implement parallel programming models and libraries such as
UPC, UPC++, Co-Array Fortran, Legion, Chapel, and many others. The
interface is primarily intended as a compilation target and for use by
runtime library writers (as opposed to end users), and the primary goals
are high performance, interface portability, and expressiveness.
***NOTICE***: The GASNet library built by this Spack package is ONLY
intended for unit-testing purposes, and is generally UNSUITABLE FOR
PRODUCTION USE. The RECOMMENDED way to build GASNet is as an embedded
library as configured by the higher-level client runtime package (UPC++,
Legion, etc), including system-specific configuration.
