Scioto: Shared Collections of Task Objects

Scioto (pronounced /sigh-OH-toe/ [1]) is a framework for supporting task parallelism on distributed memory machines under one-sided and global view parallel programming models. This framework allows the user to express their program as a set of tasks that are automatically scheduled and load balanced with respect to locality by the runtime system. Through task parallelism, the Scioto framework provides an approach to overcoming irregularity, load imbalance, and heterogeneity as well as dynamic mapping of computation onto emerging architectures.

Scioto uses ARMCI and MPI internally. We have tested interoperability with MPI, ARMCI, and Global Arrays applications and are investigating interoperability with additional parallel programming tools.
