/*! \defgroup API_Initialization_and_Termination Initialization and Termination
\struct starpu_conf
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
This structure is passed to the starpu_init() function in order to
configure StarPU. It has to be initialized with starpu_conf_init().
When the default value is used, StarPU automatically selects the
number of processing units and takes the default scheduling policy.
The environment variables overwrite the equivalent parameters.
\var int starpu_conf::magic
\private
Will be initialized by starpu_conf_init(). Should not be set by
hand.
\var const char*starpu_conf::sched_policy_name
Name of the scheduling policy. This can also be specified with the
environment variable \ref STARPU_SCHED. (default = NULL).
\var struct starpu_sched_policy *starpu_conf::sched_policy
Definition of the scheduling policy. This field is ignored if
starpu_conf::sched_policy_name is set. (default = NULL)
\var void (*starpu_conf::sched_policy_init)(unsigned)
todo
\var int starpu_conf::ncpus
Number of CPU cores that StarPU can use. This can also be
specified with the environment variable \ref STARPU_NCPU .
(default = -1)
\var int starpu_conf::ncuda
Number of CUDA devices that StarPU can use. This can also be
specified with the environment variable \ref STARPU_NCUDA.
(default = -1)
\var int starpu_conf::nopencl
Number of OpenCL devices that StarPU can use. This can also be
specified with the environment variable \ref STARPU_NOPENCL.
(default = -1)

Number of MIC devices that StarPU can use. This can also be
specified with the environment variable \ref STARPU_NMIC.
(default = -1)

Number of SCC devices that StarPU can use. This can also be
specified with the environment variable \ref STARPU_NSCC.
(default = -1)
\var int starpu_conf::nmpi_ms
Number of MPI Master Slave devices that StarPU can use. This can
also be specified with the environment variable \ref
STARPU_NMPI_MS. (default = -1)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_bindid
If this flag is set, the starpu_conf::workers_bindid array
indicates where the different workers are bound, otherwise StarPU
automatically selects where to bind the different workers. This
can also be specified with the environment variable \ref
STARPU_WORKERS_CPUID. (default = 0)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::workers_bindid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]
If the starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_bindid flag is set, this
array indicates where to bind the different workers. The i-th
entry of the starpu_conf::workers_bindid indicates the logical
identifier of the processor which should execute the i-th worker.
Note that the logical ordering of the CPUs is either determined by
the OS, or provided by the hwloc library in case it is available.
\var unsigned starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_cuda_gpuid
If this flag is set, the CUDA workers will be attached to the CUDA
devices specified in the starpu_conf::workers_cuda_gpuid array.
Otherwise, StarPU affects the CUDA devices in a round-robin
fashion. This can also be specified with the environment variable
\ref STARPU_WORKERS_CUDAID. (default = 0)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::workers_cuda_gpuid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]
If the starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_cuda_gpuid flag is set,
this array contains the logical identifiers of the CUDA devices
(as used by \c cudaGetDevice()).
\var unsigned starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_opencl_gpuid
If this flag is set, the OpenCL workers will be attached to the
OpenCL devices specified in the starpu_conf::workers_opencl_gpuid
array. Otherwise, StarPU affects the OpenCL devices in a
round-robin fashion. This can also be specified with the
environment variable \ref STARPU_WORKERS_OPENCLID. (default = 0)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::workers_opencl_gpuid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]
If the starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_opencl_gpuid flag is set,
this array contains the logical identifiers of the OpenCL devices
to be used.
\var unsigned starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_mic_deviceid
If this flag is set, the MIC workers will be attached to the MIC
devices specified in the array starpu_conf::workers_mic_deviceid.
Otherwise, StarPU affects the MIC devices in a round-robin
fashion. This can also be specified with the environment variable
\ref STARPU_WORKERS_MICID. (default = 0)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::workers_mic_deviceid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]
If the flag starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_mic_deviceid is set,
the array contains the logical identifiers of the MIC devices to
be used.
\var unsigned starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_scc_deviceid
If this flag is set, the SCC workers will be attached to the SCC
devices specified in the array starpu_conf::workers_scc_deviceid.
(default = 0)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::workers_scc_deviceid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]
If the flag starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_scc_deviceid is set,
the array contains the logical identifiers of the SCC devices to
be used. Otherwise, StarPU affects the SCC devices in a
round-robin fashion. This can also be specified with the
environment variable \ref STARPU_WORKERS_SCCID.
\var unsigned starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_mpi_ms_deviceid
If this flag is set, the MPI Master Slave workers will be attached
to the MPI Master Slave devices specified in the array
starpu_conf::workers_mpi_ms_deviceid. Otherwise, StarPU affects
the MPI Master Slave devices in a round-robin fashion. (default =
0)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::workers_mpi_ms_deviceid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]
If the flag starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_mpi_ms_deviceid is
set, the array contains the logical identifiers of the MPI Master
Slave devices to be used.
\var int starpu_conf::bus_calibrate
If this flag is set, StarPU will recalibrate the bus. If this
value is equal to -1, the default value is used. This can
also be specified with the environment variable \ref
STARPU_BUS_CALIBRATE. (default = 0)
\var int starpu_conf::calibrate
If this flag is set, StarPU will calibrate the performance models
when executing tasks. If this value is equal to -1, the
default value is used. If the value is equal to 1, it will
force continuing calibration. If the value is equal to 2,
the existing performance models will be overwritten. This can also
be specified with the environment variable \ref STARPU_CALIBRATE.
(default = 0)
\var int starpu_conf::single_combined_worker
By default, StarPU executes parallel tasks concurrently. Some
parallel libraries (e.g. most OpenMP implementations) however do
not support concurrent calls to parallel code. In such case,
setting this flag makes StarPU only start one parallel task at a
time (but other CPU and GPU tasks are not affected and can be run
concurrently). The parallel task scheduler will however still try
varying combined worker sizes to look for the most efficient ones.
This can also be specified with the environment variable \ref
STARPU_SINGLE_COMBINED_WORKER. (default = 0)
\var char *starpu_conf::mic_sink_program_path
Path to the kernel to execute on the MIC device, compiled for MIC
architecture. When set to NULL, StarPU automatically looks
next to the host program location. (default = NULL)
\var int starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_copy
This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies
between CPUs and all accelerators. This can also be specified with
the environment variable \ref STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_COPY.
The AMD implementation of OpenCL is known to fail when copying
data asynchronously. When using this implementation, it is
therefore necessary to disable asynchronous data transfers. This
can also be specified at compilation time by giving to the
configure script the option
\ref disable-asynchronous-copy "--disable-asynchronous-copy".
(default = 0)
\var int starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_cuda_copy
This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies
between CPUs and CUDA accelerators. This can also be specified
with the environment variable \ref
STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_CUDA_COPY.
This can also be specified at compilation time by giving to the
configure script the option
\ref disable-asynchronous-cuda-copy "--disable-asynchronous-cuda-copy".
(default = 0)
\var int starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_opencl_copy
This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies
between CPUs and OpenCL accelerators. This can also be specified
with the environment variable \ref
STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_OPENCL_COPY. The AMD implementation of
OpenCL is known to fail when copying data asynchronously. When
using this implementation, it is therefore necessary to disable
asynchronous data transfers. This can also be specified at
compilation time by giving to the configure script the
option
\ref disable-asynchronous-opencl-copy "--disable-asynchronous-opencl-copy".
(default = 0)
\var int starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_mic_copy
This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies
between CPUs and MIC accelerators. This can also be specified with
the environment variable \ref
STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_MIC_COPY. This can also be specified
at compilation time by giving to the configure script the option
\ref disable-asynchronous-mic-copy "--disable-asynchronous-mic-copy".
(default = 0).
\var int starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_mpi_ms_copy
This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies
between CPUs and MPI Master Slave devices. This can also be
specified with the environment variable \ref
STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_MPI_MS_COPY. This can also be
specified at compilation time by giving to the configure script
the option
\ref disable-asynchronous-mpi-master-slave-copy "--disable-asynchronous-mpi-master-slave-copy".
(default = 0).
\var unsigned *starpu_conf::cuda_opengl_interoperability
Enable CUDA/OpenGL interoperation on these CUDA devices. This can
be set to an array of CUDA device identifiers for which
\c cudaGLSetGLDevice() should be called instead of
\c cudaSetDevice(). Its size is specified by the
starpu_conf::n_cuda_opengl_interoperability field below
(default = NULL)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::n_cuda_opengl_interoperability
todo
\var struct starpu_driver *starpu_conf::not_launched_drivers
Array of drivers that should not be launched by StarPU. The
application will run in one of its own threads. (default =
NULL)
\var unsigned starpu_conf::n_not_launched_drivers
The number of StarPU drivers that should not be launched by
StarPU. (default = 0)
\var starpu_conf::trace_buffer_size
Specify the buffer size used for FxT tracing. Starting from FxT
version 0.2.12, the buffer will automatically be flushed when it
fills in, but it may still be interesting to specify a bigger
value to avoid any flushing (which would disturb the trace).
\var starpu_conf::global_sched_ctx_min_priority
todo
\var starpu_conf::global_sched_ctx_max_priority
todo
\fn int starpu_init(struct starpu_conf *conf)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
This is StarPU initialization method, which must be called prior to
any other StarPU call. It is possible to specify StarPU’s
configuration (e.g. scheduling policy, number of cores, ...) by
passing a non-NULL \p conf. Default configuration is used if \p
conf is NULL. Upon successful completion, this function
returns 0. Otherwise, -ENODEV indicates that no worker was
available (and thus StarPU was not initialized).
\fn int starpu_initialize(struct starpu_conf *user_conf, int *argc, char ***argv)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
This is the same as starpu_init(), but also takes the \p argc and \p
argv as defined by the application. This is needed for SCC execution
to initialize the communication library.
Do not call starpu_init() and starpu_initialize() in the
same program.
\fn int starpu_conf_init(struct starpu_conf *conf)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Initialize the \p conf structure with the default values. In case some
configuration parameters are already
specified through environment variables, starpu_conf_init() initializes
the fields of \p conf according to the environment variables.
For instance if \ref STARPU_CALIBRATE is set, its value is put in the
field starpu_conf::calibrate of \p conf. Upon successful
completion, this function returns 0. Otherwise, -EINVAL indicates that
the argument was NULL.
\fn int starpu_is_initialized(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Return 1 if StarPU is already initialized.
\fn void starpu_shutdown(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
This is StarPU termination method. It must be called at the end of the
application: statistics and other post-mortem debugging information
are not guaranteed to be available until this method has been called.
\fn void starpu_pause(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Suspend the processing of new tasks by
workers. It can be used in a program where StarPU is used during only
a part of the execution. Without this call, the workers continue to
poll for new tasks in a tight loop, wasting CPU time. The symmetric
call to starpu_resume() should be used to unfreeze the workers.
\fn void starpu_resume(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
This is the symmetrical call to starpu_pause(), used to resume
the workers polling for new tasks.
\fn int starpu_asynchronous_copy_disabled(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and accelerators
are disabled.
\fn int starpu_asynchronous_cuda_copy_disabled(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and CUDA
accelerators are disabled.
\fn int starpu_asynchronous_opencl_copy_disabled(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and OpenCL
accelerators are disabled.
\fn int starpu_asynchronous_mic_copy_disabled(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and MIC
devices are disabled.
\fn int starpu_asynchronous_mpi_ms_copy_disabled(void)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and MPI Slave
devices are disabled.
\fn void starpu_topology_print(FILE *f)
\ingroup API_Initialization_and_Termination
Print a description of the topology on \p f.
