## DASH [DASH](https://github.com/dash-project/dash) DASH, the C++ Template Library for Distributed Data Structures with Support for Hierarchical Locality for HPC and Data-Driven Science http://www.dash-project.org/ [Readme](http://doc.dash-project.org/Readme) ``` Choosing a DASH runtime (DART)...

talked with a fellow from our institute, he also wants a hardware info tool, but focus is quite I/O low-level. nevertheless, there are common features and we should talk together,...

## hwloc [hwloc (Open-MPI)](http://www.open-mpi.de/projects/hwloc/) - [source](https://github.com/open-mpi/hwloc.git) ... provides a portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, ...) of the hierarchical topology of modern architectures, - information on: NUMA, sockets, caches, processor...

yes it does, see updated hwloc post. We still have to check features which are not covered by hwloc et. al.

## Boost::Predef [Boost::Predef](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/doc/html/predef.html) contains system information which can be retrieved by the compiler. provides information about: - architecture, compiler, language, OS, SIMD type, endianess - probably not important: [C] library,...

update, WIP: working on compiling hip-clang via [INSTALL.md](https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/blob/master/INSTALL.md#hip-clang) (please fix _AMD-clang_ link to _HIP-clang_ in TOC). Here is the current install script. It compiles, but could not compile hip code...

thanks @davidrohr for pushing this, I also had issues with OpenMP and hcc in the past, not only because of the fishy math includes, and had to disable hipcc and...

**update:** the new hip-clang will not use any HCC at all, so do not waste your time to debug this script. The instructions in the public repos are not consistent...
