@node Initialization and Termination
@section Initialization and Termination

@deftypefun int starpu_init ({struct starpu_conf *}@var{conf})
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 argument. Default
configuration is used if the passed argument is @code{NULL}.

Upon successful completion, this function returns 0. Otherwise, @code{-ENODEV}
indicates that no worker was available (so that StarPU was not initialized).
@end deftypefun

@deftp {Data Type} {struct starpu_driver}
@table @asis
@item @code{enum starpu_archtype type}
The type of the driver. Only STARPU_CUDA_DRIVER and STARPU_OPENCL_DRIVER are
currently supported.
@item @code{union id}
@deftp {Data type} {anonymous union}
@table @asis
@item @code{unsigned cuda_id}
Should only be used if type is STARPU_CUDA_WORKER.
@item @code{cl_device_id opencl_id}
Should only be used if type is STARPU_OPENCL_WORKER.
@end table
@end deftp
@end table
@end deftp


@deftp {Data Type} {struct starpu_conf}
This structure is passed to the @code{starpu_init} function in order
to configure StarPU. It has to be initialized with @code{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.

@table @asis
@item @code{const char *sched_policy_name} (default = NULL)
This is the name of the scheduling policy. This can also be specified
with the @code{STARPU_SCHED} environment variable.

@item @code{struct starpu_sched_policy *sched_policy} (default = NULL)
This is the definition of the scheduling policy. This field is ignored
if @code{sched_policy_name} is set.

@item @code{int ncpus} (default = -1)
This is the number of CPU cores that StarPU can use. This can also be
specified with the @code{STARPU_NCPUS} environment variable.

@item @code{int ncuda} (default = -1)
This is the number of CUDA devices that StarPU can use. This can also
be specified with the @code{STARPU_NCUDA} environment variable.

@item @code{int nopencl} (default = -1)
This is the number of OpenCL devices that StarPU can use. This can
also be specified with the @code{STARPU_NOPENCL} environment variable.

@item @code{int nspus} (default = -1)
This is the number of Cell SPUs that StarPU can use. This can also be
specified with the @code{STARPU_NGORDON} environment variable.

@item @code{unsigned use_explicit_workers_bindid} (default = 0)
If this flag is set, the @code{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
@code{STARPU_WORKERS_CPUID} environment variable.

@item @code{unsigned workers_bindid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]}
If the @code{use_explicit_workers_bindid} flag is set, this array
indicates where to bind the different workers. The i-th entry of the
@code{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 @code{hwloc} library in case it is available.

@item @code{unsigned use_explicit_workers_cuda_gpuid} (default = 0)
If this flag is set, the CUDA workers will be attached to the CUDA devices
specified in the @code{workers_cuda_gpuid} array. Otherwise, StarPU affects the
CUDA devices in a round-robin fashion. This can also be specified with the
@code{STARPU_WORKERS_CUDAID} environment variable.

@item @code{unsigned workers_cuda_gpuid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]}
If the @code{use_explicit_workers_cuda_gpuid} flag is set, this array
contains the logical identifiers of the CUDA devices (as used by
@code{cudaGetDevice}).

@item @code{unsigned use_explicit_workers_opencl_gpuid} (default = 0)
If this flag is set, the OpenCL workers will be attached to the OpenCL devices
specified in the @code{workers_opencl_gpuid} array. Otherwise, StarPU affects
the OpenCL devices in a round-robin fashion. This can also be specified with
the @code{STARPU_WORKERS_OPENCLID} environment variable.

@item @code{unsigned workers_opencl_gpuid[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]}
If the @code{use_explicit_workers_opencl_gpuid} flag is set, this array
contains the logical identifiers of the OpenCL devices to be used.

@item @code{int calibrate} (default = 0)
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. This
can also be specified with the @code{STARPU_CALIBRATE} environment variable.

@item @code{int single_combined_worker} (default = 0)
By default, StarPU 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.
This can also be specified with the @code{STARPU_SINGLE_COMBINED_WORKER} environment variable.

@item @code{int disable_asynchronous_copy} (default = 0)
This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies between
CPUs and accelerators. This can also be specified with the
@code{STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_COPY} environment variable.
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.

@item @code{int *cuda_opengl_interoperability} (default = NULL)
This can be set to an array of CUDA device identifiers for which
@code{cudaGLSetGLDevice} should be called instead of @code{cudaSetDevice}. Its
size is specified by the @code{n_cuda_opengl_interoperability} field below

@item @code{int *n_cuda_opengl_interoperability} (default = 0)
This has to be set to the size of the array pointed to by the
@code{cuda_opengl_interoperability} field.

@item @code{struct starpu_driver *not_launched_drivers}
The drivers that should not be launched by StarPU.

@item @code{unsigned nnot_launched_drivers}
The number of StarPU drivers that should not be launched by StarPU.

@end table
@end deftp

@deftypefun int starpu_conf_init ({struct starpu_conf *}@var{conf})
This function initializes the @var{conf} structure passed as argument
with the default values. In case some configuration parameters are already
specified through environment variables, @code{starpu_conf_init} initializes
the fields of the structure according to the environment variables. For
instance if @code{STARPU_CALIBRATE} is set, its value is put in the
@code{.ncuda} field of the structure passed as argument.

Upon successful completion, this function returns 0. Otherwise, @code{-EINVAL}
indicates that the argument was NULL.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_shutdown (void)
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.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_asynchronous_copy_disabled ()
Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and accelerators
are disabled.
@end deftypefun

@node Workers' Properties
@section Workers' Properties

@deftp {Data Type} {enum starpu_archtype}
The different values are:
@table @asis

@item @code{STARPU_OPENCL_WORKER}
@item @code{STARPU_GORDON_WORKER}
@end table
@end deftp

@deftypefun unsigned starpu_worker_get_count (void)
This function returns the number of workers (i.e. processing units executing
StarPU tasks). The returned value should be at most @code{STARPU_NMAXWORKERS}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_worker_get_count_by_type ({enum starpu_archtype} @var{type})
Returns the number of workers of the given type indicated by the argument. A positive
(or null) value is returned in case of success, @code{-EINVAL} indicates that
the type is not valid otherwise.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun unsigned starpu_cpu_worker_get_count (void)
This function returns the number of CPUs controlled by StarPU. The returned
value should be at most @code{STARPU_MAXCPUS}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun unsigned starpu_cuda_worker_get_count (void)
This function returns the number of CUDA devices controlled by StarPU. The returned
value should be at most @code{STARPU_MAXCUDADEVS}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun unsigned starpu_opencl_worker_get_count (void)
This function returns the number of OpenCL devices controlled by StarPU. The returned
value should be at most @code{STARPU_MAXOPENCLDEVS}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun unsigned starpu_spu_worker_get_count (void)
This function returns the number of Cell SPUs controlled by StarPU.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_worker_get_id (void)
This function returns the identifier of the current worker, i.e the one associated to the calling
thread. The returned value is either -1 if the current context is not a StarPU
worker (i.e. when called from the application outside a task or a callback), or
an integer between 0 and @code{starpu_worker_get_count() - 1}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_worker_get_ids_by_type ({enum starpu_archtype} @var{type}, int *@var{workerids}, int @var{maxsize})
This function gets the list of identifiers of workers with the given
type. It fills the workerids array with the identifiers of the workers that have the type
indicated in the first argument. The maxsize argument indicates the size of the
workids array. The returned value gives the number of identifiers that were put
in the array. @code{-ERANGE} is returned is maxsize is lower than the number of
workers with the appropriate type: in that case, the array is filled with the
maxsize first elements. To avoid such overflows, the value of maxsize can be
chosen by the means of the @code{starpu_worker_get_count_by_type} function, or
by passing a value greater or equal to @code{STARPU_NMAXWORKERS}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_worker_get_devid (int @var{id})
This functions returns the device id of the given worker. The worker
should be identified with the value returned by the @code{starpu_worker_get_id} function. In the case of a
CUDA worker, this device identifier is the logical device identifier exposed by
CUDA (used by the @code{cudaGetDevice} function for instance). The device
identifier of a CPU worker is the logical identifier of the core on which the
worker was bound; this identifier is either provided by the OS or by the
@code{hwloc} library in case it is available.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun {enum starpu_archtype} starpu_worker_get_type (int @var{id})
This function returns the type of processing unit associated to a
worker. The worker identifier is a value returned by the
@code{starpu_worker_get_id} function). The returned value
indicates the architecture of the worker: @code{STARPU_CPU_WORKER} for a CPU
core, @code{STARPU_CUDA_WORKER} for a CUDA device,
@code{STARPU_OPENCL_WORKER} for a OpenCL device, and
@code{STARPU_GORDON_WORKER} for a Cell SPU. The value returned for an invalid
identifier is unspecified.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_worker_get_name (int @var{id}, char *@var{dst}, size_t @var{maxlen})
This function allows to get the name of a given worker.
StarPU associates a unique human readable string to each processing unit. This
function copies at most the @var{maxlen} first bytes of the unique string
associated to a worker identified by its identifier @var{id} into the
@var{dst} buffer. The caller is responsible for ensuring that the @var{dst}
is a valid pointer to a buffer of @var{maxlen} bytes at least. Calling this
function on an invalid identifier results in an unspecified behaviour.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun unsigned starpu_worker_get_memory_node (unsigned @var{workerid})
This function returns the identifier of the memory node associated to the
worker identified by @var{workerid}.

this function should be used in the allocation function to determine
on which device the memory needs to be allocated.

@node Data Library

@end menu

This section describes the data management facilities provided by StarPU.

We show how to use existing data interfaces in @ref{Data Interfaces}, but developers can
design their own data interfaces if required.

@node Introduction to Data Library
@subsection Introduction
Data management is done at a high-level in StarPU: rather than accessing a mere
list of contiguous buffers, the tasks may manipulate data that are described by
a high-level construct which we call data interface.

An example of data interface is the "vector" interface which describes a
contiguous data array on a spefic memory node. This interface is a simple
structure containing the number of elements in the array, the size of the
elements, and the address of the array in the appropriate address space (this
address may be invalid if there is no valid copy of the array in the memory
node). More informations on the data interfaces provided by StarPU are
given in @ref{Data Interfaces}.

When a piece of data managed by StarPU is used by a task, the task
implementation is given a pointer to an interface describing a valid copy of
the data that is accessible from the current processing unit.

Every worker is associated to a memory node which is a logical abstraction of
the address space from which the processing unit gets its data. For instance,
the memory node associated to the different CPU workers represents main memory
(RAM), the memory node associated to a GPU is DRAM embedded on the device.
Every memory node is identified by a logical index which is accessible from the
@code{starpu_worker_get_memory_node} function. When registering a piece of data
to StarPU, the specified memory node indicates where the piece of data
initially resides (we also call this memory node the home node of a piece of
data).

@node Basic Data Library API
@subsection Basic Data Library API

@deftypefun int starpu_malloc (void **@var{A}, size_t @var{dim})
This function allocates data of the given size in main memory. It will also try to pin it in
CUDA or OpenCL, so that data transfers from this buffer can be asynchronous, and
thus permit data transfer and computation overlapping. The allocated buffer must
be freed thanks to the @code{starpu_free} function.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_free (void *@var{A})
This function frees memory which has previously allocated with
@code{starpu_malloc}.
@end deftypefun

@deftp {Data Type} {enum starpu_access_mode}
This datatype describes a data access mode. The different available modes are:
@table @asis
@item @code{STARPU_R}: read-only mode.
@item @code{STARPU_W}: write-only mode.
@item @code{STARPU_RW}: read-write mode.
 This is equivalent to @code{STARPU_R|STARPU_W}.
@item @code{STARPU_SCRATCH}: scratch memory.
A temporary buffer is allocated for the task, but StarPU does not
enforce data consistency---i.e. each device has its own buffer,
independently from each other (even for CPUs), and no data transfer is
ever performed.  This is useful for temporary variables to avoid
allocating/freeing buffers inside each task.

Currently, no behavior is defined concerning the relation with the
@code{STARPU_R} and @code{STARPU_W} modes and the value provided at
registration---i.e., the value of the scratch buffer is undefined at
entry of the codelet function.  It is being considered for future
extensions at least to define the initial value.  For now, data to be
used in @code{SCRATCH} mode should be registered with node @code{-1} and
a @code{NULL} pointer, since the value of the provided buffer is simply
ignored for now.
@item @code{STARPU_REDUX} reduction mode.
@end table
@end deftp

@deftp {Data Type} {starpu_data_handle_t}
StarPU uses @code{starpu_data_handle_t} as an opaque handle to manage a piece of
data. Once a piece of data has been registered to StarPU, it is associated to a
@code{starpu_data_handle_t} which keeps track of the state of the piece of data
over the entire machine, so that we can maintain data consistency and locate
data replicates for instance.
@end deftp

@deftypefun void starpu_data_register (starpu_data_handle_t *@var{handleptr}, uint32_t @var{home_node}, void *@var{data_interface}, {struct starpu_data_interface_ops} *@var{ops})
Register a piece of data into the handle located at the @var{handleptr}
address. The @var{data_interface} buffer contains the initial description of the
data in the home node. The @var{ops} argument is a pointer to a structure
describing the different methods used to manipulate this type of interface. See
@ref{struct starpu_data_interface_ops} for more details on this structure.

If @code{home_node} is -1, StarPU will automatically
allocate the memory when it is used for the
first time in write-only mode. Once such data handle has been automatically
allocated, it is possible to access it using any access mode.

Note that StarPU supplies a set of predefined types of interface (e.g. vector or
matrix) which can be registered by the means of helper functions (e.g.
@code{starpu_vector_data_register} or @code{starpu_matrix_data_register}).
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_register_same ({starpu_data_handle_t *}@var{handledst}, starpu_data_handle_t @var{handlesrc})
Register a new piece of data into the handle @var{handledst} with the
same interface as the handle @var{handlesrc}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_unregister (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle})
This function unregisters a data handle from StarPU. If the data was
automatically allocated by StarPU because the home node was -1, all
automatically allocated buffers are freed. Otherwise, a valid copy of the data
is put back into the home node in the buffer that was initially registered.
Using a data handle that has been unregistered from StarPU results in an
undefined behaviour.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_unregister_no_coherency (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle})
This is the same as starpu_data_unregister, except that StarPU does not put back
a valid copy into the home node, in the buffer that was initially registered.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_invalidate (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle})
Destroy all replicates of the data handle. After data invalidation, the first
access to the handle must be performed in write-only mode. Accessing an
invalidated data in read-mode results in undefined behaviour.
@end deftypefun

@c TODO create a specific sections about user interaction with the DSM ?

@deftypefun void starpu_data_set_wt_mask (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, uint32_t @var{wt_mask})
This function sets the write-through mask of a given data, i.e. a bitmask of
nodes where the data should be always replicated after modification. It also
prevents the data from being evicted from these nodes when memory gets scarse.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_data_prefetch_on_node (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, unsigned @var{node}, unsigned @var{async})
Issue a prefetch request for a given data to a given node, i.e.
requests that the data be replicated to the given node, so that it is available
there for tasks. If the @var{async} parameter is 0, the call will block until
the transfer is achieved, else the call will return as soon as the request is
scheduled (which may however have to wait for a task completion).
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun starpu_data_handle_t starpu_data_lookup ({const void *}@var{ptr})
Return the handle corresponding to the data pointed to by the @var{ptr}
host pointer.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_data_request_allocation (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, uint32_t @var{node})
Explicitly ask StarPU to allocate room for a piece of data on the specified
memory node.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_query_status (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, int @var{memory_node}, {int *}@var{is_allocated}, {int *}@var{is_valid}, {int *}@var{is_requested})
Query the status of the handle on the specified memory node.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_advise_as_important (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, unsigned @var{is_important})
This function allows to specify that a piece of data can be discarded
without impacting the application.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_set_reduction_methods (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, {struct starpu_codelet *}@var{redux_cl}, {struct starpu_codelet *}@var{init_cl})
This sets the codelets to be used for the @var{handle} when it is accessed in
REDUX mode. Per-worker buffers will be initialized with the @var{init_cl}
codelet, and reduction between per-worker buffers will be done with the
@var{redux_cl} codelet.
@end deftypefun

@node Access registered data from the application
@subsection Access registered data from the application

@deftypefun int starpu_data_acquire (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, {enum starpu_access_mode} @var{mode})
The application must call this function prior to accessing registered data from
main memory outside tasks. StarPU ensures that the application will get an
up-to-date copy of the data in main memory located where the data was
originally registered, and that all concurrent accesses (e.g. from tasks) will
be consistent with the access mode specified in the @var{mode} argument.
@code{starpu_data_release} must be called once the application does not need to
access the piece of data anymore.  Note that implicit data
dependencies are also enforced by @code{starpu_data_acquire}, i.e.
@code{starpu_data_acquire} will wait for all tasks scheduled to work on
the data, unless that they have not been disabled explictly by calling
@code{starpu_data_set_default_sequential_consistency_flag} or
@code{starpu_data_set_sequential_consistency_flag}.
@code{starpu_data_acquire} is a blocking call, so that it cannot be called from
tasks or from their callbacks (in that case, @code{starpu_data_acquire} returns
@code{-EDEADLK}). Upon successful completion, this function returns 0.
@end deftypefun


@deftypefun int starpu_data_acquire_cb (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, {enum starpu_access_mode} @var{mode}, void (*@var{callback})(void *), void *@var{arg})
@code{starpu_data_acquire_cb} is the asynchronous equivalent of
@code{starpu_data_release}. When the data specified in the first argument is
available in the appropriate access mode, the callback function is executed.
The application may access the requested data during the execution of this
callback. The callback function must call @code{starpu_data_release} once the
application does not need to access the piece of data anymore.
Note that implicit data dependencies are also enforced by
@code{starpu_data_acquire_cb} in case they are enabled.
 Contrary to @code{starpu_data_acquire}, this function is non-blocking and may
be called from task callbacks. Upon successful completion, this function
returns 0.
@end deftypefun

@defmac STARPU_DATA_ACQUIRE_CB (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, {enum starpu_access_mode} @var{mode}, code)
@code{STARPU_DATA_ACQUIRE_CB} is the same as @code{starpu_data_acquire_cb},
except that the code to be executed in a callback is directly provided as a
macro parameter, and the data handle is automatically released after it. This
permits to easily execute code which depends on the value of some registered
data. This is non-blocking too and may be called from task callbacks.
@end defmac

@deftypefun void starpu_data_release (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle})
This function releases the piece of data acquired by the application either by
@code{starpu_data_acquire} or by @code{starpu_data_acquire_cb}.
@end deftypefun

@node Registering Data
@subsection Registering Data

There are several ways to register a memory region so that it can be managed by
StarPU.  The functions below allow the registration of vectors, 2D matrices, 3D
matrices as well as  BCSR and CSR sparse matrices.

@deftypefun void starpu_void_data_register ({starpu_data_handle_t *}@var{handle})
Register a void interface. There is no data really associated to that
interface, but it may be used as a synchronization mechanism. It also
permits to express an abstract piece of data that is managed by the
application internally: this makes it possible to forbid the
concurrent execution of different tasks accessing the same "void" data
in read-write concurrently.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_variable_data_register ({starpu_data_handle_t *}@var{handle}, uint32_t @var{home_node}, uintptr_t @var{ptr}, size_t @var{size})
Register the @var{size}-byte element pointed to by @var{ptr}, which is
typically a scalar, and initialize @var{handle} to represent this data
item.

@cartouche

Register the @var{nx} @var{elemsize}-byte elements pointed to by
@var{ptr} and initialize @var{handle} to represent it.

Register the @var{nx}x@var{ny} 2D matrix of @var{elemsize}-byte elements
pointed by @var{ptr} and initialize @var{handle} to represent it.
@var{ld} specifies the number of elements between rows.
a value greater than @var{nx} adds padding, which can be useful for

@node Basic API
@subsection Basic API

@deftp {Data Type} {struct starpu_data_filter}
The filter structure describes a data partitioning operation, to be given to the
@code{starpu_data_partition} function, see @ref{starpu_data_partition}
for an example. The different fields are:

@table @asis
@item @code{void (*filter_func)(void *father_interface, void* child_interface, struct starpu_data_filter *, unsigned id, unsigned nparts)}
This function fills the @code{child_interface} structure with interface
information for the @code{id}-th child of the parent @code{father_interface} (among @code{nparts}).

@item @code{unsigned nchildren}
This is the number of parts to partition the data into.

@item @code{unsigned (*get_nchildren)(struct starpu_data_filter *, starpu_data_handle_t initial_handle)}
This returns the number of children. This can be used instead of @code{nchildren} when the number of
children depends on the actual data (e.g. the number of blocks in a sparse
matrix).

@item @code{struct starpu_data_interface_ops *(*get_child_ops)(struct starpu_data_filter *, unsigned id)}
In case the resulting children use a different data interface, this function
returns which interface is used by child number @code{id}.

@item @code{unsigned filter_arg}
Allow to define an additional parameter for the filter function.

@item @code{void *filter_arg_ptr}
Allow to define an additional pointer parameter for the filter
function, such as the sizes of the different parts.
@end table
@end deftp

@deftypefun void starpu_data_partition (starpu_data_handle_t @var{initial_handle}, {struct starpu_data_filter *}@var{f})
@anchor{starpu_data_partition}
This requests partitioning one StarPU data @var{initial_handle} into several
subdata according to the filter @var{f}, as shown in the following example:

@cartouche
@smallexample
struct starpu_data_filter f = @{
    .filter_func = starpu_vertical_block_filter_func,
    .nchildren = nslicesx,
    .get_nchildren = NULL,
    .get_child_ops = NULL
@};
starpu_data_partition(A_handle, &f);
@end smallexample
@end cartouche
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_unpartition (starpu_data_handle_t @var{root_data}, uint32_t @var{gathering_node})
This unapplies one filter, thus unpartitioning the data. The pieces of data are
collected back into one big piece in the @var{gathering_node} (usually 0).
@cartouche
@smallexample
starpu_data_unpartition(A_handle, 0);
@end smallexample
@end cartouche
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_data_get_nb_children (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle})
This function returns the number of children.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun starpu_data_handle_t starpu_data_get_child (starpu_data_handle_t @var{handle}, unsigned @var{i})
Return the @var{i}th child of the given @var{handle}, which must have been partitionned beforehand.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun starpu_data_handle_t starpu_data_get_sub_data (starpu_data_handle_t @var{root_data}, unsigned @var{depth}, ... )
After partitioning a StarPU data by applying a filter,
@code{starpu_data_get_sub_data} can be used to get handles for each of
the data portions. @var{root_data} is the parent data that was
partitioned. @var{depth} is the number of filters to traverse (in
case several filters have been applied, to e.g. partition in row
blocks, and then in column blocks), and the subsequent
parameters are the indexes. The function returns a handle to the
subdata.
@cartouche
@smallexample
h = starpu_data_get_sub_data(A_handle, 1, taskx);
@end smallexample
@end cartouche
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun starpu_data_handle_t starpu_data_vget_sub_data (starpu_data_handle_t @var{root_data}, unsigned @var{depth}, va_list @var{pa})
This function is similar to @code{starpu_data_get_sub_data} but uses a
va_list for the parameter list.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_map_filters (starpu_data_handle_t @var{root_data}, unsigned @var{nfilters}, ...)
Applies @var{nfilters} filters to the handle designated by @var{root_handle}
recursively. @var{nfilters} pointers to variables of the type
starpu_data_filter should be given.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_data_vmap_filters (starpu_data_handle_t @var{root_data}, unsigned @var{nfilters}, va_list @var{pa})
Applies @var{nfilters} filters to the handle designated by @var{root_handle}
recursively. It uses a va_list of pointers to variables of the typer
starpu_data_filter.

codelet. The different values
@code{STARPU_CPU}, @code{STARPU_CUDA}, @code{STARPU_SPU},
@code{STARPU_GORDON}, @code{STARPU_OPENCL} can be combined to specify
on which types of processing units the codelet can be executed.

implemented for both CPU cores and CUDA devices while @code{STARPU_GORDON}
indicates that it is only available on Cell SPUs. If the field is
unset, its value will be automatically set based on the availability
of the @code{XXX_funcs} fields defined below.

@item @code{int (*can_execute)(unsigned workerid, struct starpu_task *task, unsigned nimpl)} (optional)
Defines a function which should return 1 if the worker designated by @var{workerid} can execute the @var{nimpl}th implementation of the given@var{task}, 0 otherwise.

@item @code{enum starpu_codelet_type type} (optional)
The default is @code{STARPU_SEQ}, i.e. usual sequential implementation. Other
values (@code{STARPU_SPMD} or @code{STARPU_FORKJOIN} declare that a parallel
implementation is also available. See @ref{Parallel Tasks} for details.

@item @code{int max_parallelism} (optional)
If a parallel implementation is available, this denotes the maximum combined
worker size that StarPU will use to execute parallel tasks for this codelet.

@item @code{starpu_cpu_func_t cpu_func} (optional)
This field has been made deprecated. One should use instead the
@code{cpu_funcs} field.

@item @code{starpu_cpu_func_t cpu_funcs[STARPU_MAXIMPLEMENTATIONS]} (optional)
Is an array of function pointers to the CPU implementations of the codelet.
It must be terminated by a NULL value.
The functions prototype must be: @code{void cpu_func(void *buffers[], void *cl_arg)}. The first
argument being the array of data managed by the data management library, and
the second argument is a pointer to the argument passed from the @code{cl_arg}
field of the @code{starpu_task} structure.
If the @code{where} field is set, then the @code{cpu_funcs} field is
ignored if @code{STARPU_CPU} does not appear in the @code{where}
field, it must be non-null otherwise.

@item @code{starpu_cuda_func_t cuda_func} (optional)
This field has been made deprecated. One should use instead the
@code{cuda_funcs} field.

@item @code{starpu_cuda_func_t cuda_funcs[STARPU_MAXIMPLEMENTATIONS]} (optional)
Is an array of function pointers to the CUDA implementations of the codelet.
It must be terminated by a NULL value.
@emph{The functions must be host-functions written in the CUDA runtime
API}. Their prototype must
be: @code{void cuda_func(void *buffers[], void *cl_arg);}.
If the @code{where} field is set, then the @code{cuda_funcs}
field is ignored if @code{STARPU_CUDA} does not appear in the @code{where}
field, it must be non-null otherwise.

@item @code{starpu_opencl_func_t opencl_func} (optional)
This field has been made deprecated. One should use instead the
@code{opencl_funcs} field.

@item @code{starpu_opencl_func_t opencl_funcs[STARPU_MAXIMPLEMENTATIONS]} (optional)
Is an array of function pointers to the OpenCL implementations of the codelet.
It must be terminated by a NULL value.
The functions prototype must be:
@code{void opencl_func(void *buffers[], void *cl_arg);}.
If the @code{where} field is set, then the @code{opencl_funcs} field
is ignored if @code{STARPU_OPENCL} does not appear in the @code{where}
field, it must be non-null otherwise.

@item @code{uint8_t gordon_func} (optional)

@code{gordon_funcs} field.

@item @code{uint8_t gordon_funcs[STARPU_MAXIMPLEMENTATIONS]} (optional)
Is an array of index of the Cell SPU implementations of the codelet within the
Gordon library.
It must be terminated by a NULL value.
See Gordon documentation for more details on how to register a kernel and
retrieve its index.

@item @code{unsigned nbuffers}
Specifies the number of arguments taken by the codelet. These arguments are
managed by the DSM and are accessed from the @code{void *buffers[]}
array. The constant argument passed with the @code{cl_arg} field of the
@code{starpu_task} structure is not counted in this number.  This value should
not be above @code{STARPU_NMAXBUFS}.

@item @code{enum starpu_access_mode modes[STARPU_NMAXBUFS]}
Is an array of @code{enum starpu_access_mode}. It describes the
required access modes to the data neeeded by the codelet (e.g.
@code{STARPU_RW}). The number of entries in this array must be
specified in the @code{nbuffers} field (defined above), and should not
exceed @code{STARPU_NMAXBUFS}.
If unsufficient, this value can be set with the @code{--enable-maxbuffers}
option when configuring StarPU.

@item @code{struct starpu_perfmodel *model} (optional)
This is a pointer to the task duration performance model associated to this
codelet. This optional field is ignored when set to @code{NULL}.

@item @code{struct starpu_perfmodel *power_model} (optional)
This is a pointer to the task power consumption performance model associated
to this codelet. This optional field is ignored when set to @code{NULL}.
In the case of parallel codelets, this has to account for all processing units
involved in the parallel execution.

@item @code{unsigned long per_worker_stats[STARPU_NMAXWORKERS]} (optional)
Statistics collected at runtime: this is filled by StarPU and should not be
accessed directly, but for example by calling the
@code{starpu_display_codelet_stats} function (See
@ref{starpu_display_codelet_stats} for details).

@item @code{const char *name} (optional)
Define the name of the codelet. This can be useful for debugging purposes.

@end table

such a initialisation is not always possible, e.g. when using C++.
@end deftypefun

@deftp {Data Type} {enum starpu_task_status}
State of a task, can be either of
@table @asis
@item @code{STARPU_TASK_INVALID} The task has just been initialized.

@deftp {Data Type} {struct starpu_task}
The @code{starpu_task} structure describes a task that can be offloaded on the various
processing units managed by StarPU. It instantiates a codelet. It can either be
allocated dynamically with the @code{starpu_task_create} method, or declared
statically. In the latter case, the programmer has to zero the
@code{starpu_task} structure and to fill the different fields properly. The
indicated default values correspond to the configuration of a task allocated
with @code{starpu_task_create}.

@table @asis
@item @code{struct starpu_codelet *cl}
Is a pointer to the corresponding @code{struct starpu_codelet} data structure. This
describes where the kernel should be executed, and supplies the appropriate
implementations. When set to @code{NULL}, no code is executed during the tasks,
such empty tasks can be useful for synchronization purposes.

@item @code{struct starpu_buffer_descr buffers[STARPU_NMAXBUFS]}
This field has been made deprecated. One should use instead the
@code{handles} field to specify the handles to the data accessed by
the task. The access modes are now defined in the @code{mode} field of
the @code{struct starpu_codelet cl} field defined above.

@item @code{starpu_data_handle_t handles[STARPU_NMAXBUFS]}
Is an array of @code{starpu_data_handle_t}. It specifies the handles
to the different pieces of data accessed by the task. The number
of entries in this array must be specified in the @code{nbuffers} field of the
@code{struct starpu_codelet} structure, and should not exceed
@code{STARPU_NMAXBUFS}.
If unsufficient, this value can be set with the @code{--enable-maxbuffers}
option when configuring StarPU.

@item @code{void *interfaces[STARPU_NMAXBUFS]}
The actual data pointers to the memory node where execution will happen, managed
by the DSM.

@item @code{void *cl_arg} (optional; default: @code{NULL})
This pointer is passed to the codelet through the second argument
of the codelet implementation (e.g. @code{cpu_func} or @code{cuda_func}).
In the specific case of the Cell processor, see the @code{cl_arg_size}
argument.

@item @code{size_t cl_arg_size} (optional, Cell-specific)
In the case of the Cell processor, the @code{cl_arg} pointer is not directly
given to the SPU function. A buffer of size @code{cl_arg_size} is allocated on
the SPU. This buffer is then filled with the @code{cl_arg_size} bytes starting
at address @code{cl_arg}. In this case, the argument given to the SPU codelet
is therefore not the @code{cl_arg} pointer, but the address of the buffer in
local store (LS) instead. This field is ignored for CPU, CUDA and OpenCL
codelets, where the @code{cl_arg} pointer is given as such.

@item @code{void (*callback_func)(void *)} (optional) (default: @code{NULL})
This is a function pointer of prototype @code{void (*f)(void *)} which
specifies a possible callback. If this pointer is non-null, the callback
function is executed @emph{on the host} after the execution of the task. Tasks
which depend on it might already be executing. The callback is passed the
value contained in the @code{callback_arg} field. No callback is executed if the
field is set to @code{NULL}.

@item @code{void *callback_arg} (optional) (default: @code{NULL})
This is the pointer passed to the callback function. This field is ignored if
the @code{callback_func} is set to @code{NULL}.

@item @code{unsigned use_tag} (optional) (default: @code{0})
If set, this flag indicates that the task should be associated with the tag
contained in the @code{tag_id} field. Tag allow the application to synchronize
with the task and to express task dependencies easily.

@item @code{starpu_tag_t tag_id}
This fields contains the tag associated to the task if the @code{use_tag} field
was set, it is ignored otherwise.

@item @code{unsigned synchronous}
If this flag is set, the @code{starpu_task_submit} function is blocking and
returns only when the task has been executed (or if no worker is able to
process the task). Otherwise, @code{starpu_task_submit} returns immediately.

@item @code{int priority} (optional) (default: @code{STARPU_DEFAULT_PRIO})
This field indicates a level of priority for the task. This is an integer value
that must be set between the return values of the
@code{starpu_sched_get_min_priority} function for the least important tasks,
and that of the @code{starpu_sched_get_max_priority} for the most important
tasks (included). The @code{STARPU_MIN_PRIO} and @code{STARPU_MAX_PRIO} macros
are provided for convenience and respectively returns value of
@code{starpu_sched_get_min_priority} and @code{starpu_sched_get_max_priority}.
Default priority is @code{STARPU_DEFAULT_PRIO}, which is always defined as 0 in
order to allow static task initialization.  Scheduling strategies that take
priorities into account can use this parameter to take better scheduling
decisions, but the scheduling policy may also ignore it.

@item @code{unsigned execute_on_a_specific_worker} (default: @code{0})
If this flag is set, StarPU will bypass the scheduler and directly affect this
task to the worker specified by the @code{workerid} field.

@item @code{unsigned workerid} (optional)
If the @code{execute_on_a_specific_worker} field is set, this field indicates
which is the identifier of the worker that should process this task (as
returned by @code{starpu_worker_get_id}). This field is ignored if
@code{execute_on_a_specific_worker} field is set to 0.

@item @code{starpu_task_bundle_t bundle} (optional)
The bundle that includes this task. If no bundle is used, this should be NULL.

@item @code{int detach} (optional) (default: @code{1})
If this flag is set, it is not possible to synchronize with the task
by the means of @code{starpu_task_wait} later on. Internal data structures
are only guaranteed to be freed once @code{starpu_task_wait} is called if the
flag is not set.

@item @code{int destroy} (optional) (default: @code{0} for starpu_task_init, @code{1} for starpu_task_create)
If this flag is set, the task structure will automatically be freed, either
after the execution of the callback if the task is detached, or during
@code{starpu_task_wait} otherwise. If this flag is not set, dynamically
allocated data structures will not be freed until @code{starpu_task_destroy} is
called explicitly. Setting this flag for a statically allocated task structure
will result in undefined behaviour. The flag is set to 1 when the task is
created by calling @code{starpu_task_create()}. Note that
@code{starpu_task_wait_for_all} will not free any task.

@item @code{int regenerate} (optional)
If this flag is set, the task will be re-submitted to StarPU once it has been
executed. This flag must not be set if the destroy flag is set too.

@item @code{enum starpu_task_status status} (optional)
Current state of the task.

@item @code{struct starpu_task_profiling_info *profiling_info} (optional)
Profiling information for the task.

@item @code{double predicted} (output field)
Predicted duration of the task. This field is only set if the scheduling
strategy used performance models.

@item @code{double predicted_transfer} (optional)
Predicted data transfer duration for the task in microseconds. This field is
only valid if the scheduling strategy uses performance models.

@item @code{struct starpu_task *prev}
A pointer to the previous task. This should only be used by StarPU.

@item @code{struct starpu_task *next}
A pointer to the next task. This should only be used by StarPU.

@item @code{unsigned int mf_skip}
This is only used for tasks that use multiformat handle. This should only be
used by StarPU.

@item @code{void *starpu_private}
This is private to StarPU, do not modify. If the task is allocated by hand
(without starpu_task_create), this field should be set to NULL.

@item @code{int magic}
This field is set when initializing a task. It prevents a task from being
submitted if it has not been properly initialized.
@end table
@end deftp

@deftypefun void starpu_task_init ({struct starpu_task} *@var{task})
Initialize @var{task} with default values. This function is implicitly
called by @code{starpu_task_create}. By default, tasks initialized with
@code{starpu_task_init} must be deinitialized explicitly with
@code{starpu_task_deinit}. Tasks can also be initialized statically,
using @code{STARPU_TASK_INITIALIZER} defined below.
@end deftypefun

@defmac STARPU_TASK_INITIALIZER
It is possible to initialize statically allocated tasks with this
value. This is equivalent to initializing a starpu_task structure with
the @code{starpu_task_init} function defined above.
@end defmac

@deftypefun {struct starpu_task *} starpu_task_create (void)
Allocate a task structure and initialize it with default values. Tasks
allocated dynamically with @code{starpu_task_create} are automatically freed when the
task is terminated. This means that the task pointer can not be used any more
once the task is submitted, since it can be executed at any time (unless
dependencies make it wait) and thus freed at any time.
If the destroy flag is explicitly unset, the resources used
by the task have to be freed by calling
@code{starpu_task_destroy}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_task_deinit ({struct starpu_task} *@var{task})
Release all the structures automatically allocated to execute @var{task}, but
not the task structure itself. It is thus useful for statically allocated tasks
for instance.  It is called automatically by @code{starpu_task_destroy}.  It
has to be called only after explicitly waiting for the task or after
@code{starpu_shutdown} (waiting for the callback is not enough, since starpu
still manipulates the task after calling the callback).
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_task_destroy ({struct starpu_task} *@var{task})
Free the resource allocated during @code{starpu_task_create} and
associated with @var{task}. This function is already called automatically
after the execution of a task when the @code{destroy} flag of the
@code{starpu_task} structure is set, which is the default for tasks created by
@code{starpu_task_create}.  Calling this function on a statically allocated task
results in an undefined behaviour.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_task_wait ({struct starpu_task} *@var{task})
This function blocks until @var{task} has been executed. It is not possible to
synchronize with a task more than once. It is not possible to wait for
synchronous or detached tasks.

Upon successful completion, this function returns 0. Otherwise, @code{-EINVAL}
indicates that the specified task was either synchronous or detached.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_task_submit ({struct starpu_task} *@var{task})
This function submits @var{task} to StarPU. Calling this function does
not mean that the task will be executed immediately as there can be data or task
(tag) dependencies that are not fulfilled yet: StarPU will take care of
scheduling this task with respect to such dependencies.
This function returns immediately if the @code{synchronous} field of the
@code{starpu_task} structure was set to 0, and block until the termination of
the task otherwise. It is also possible to synchronize the application with
asynchronous tasks by the means of tags, using the @code{starpu_tag_wait}
function for instance.

In case of success, this function returns 0, a return value of @code{-ENODEV}
means that there is no worker able to process this task (e.g. there is no GPU
available and this task is only implemented for CUDA devices).

starpu_task_submit() can be called from anywhere, including codelet
functions and callbacks, provided that the @code{synchronous} field of the
@code{starpu_task} structure is left to 0.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_task_wait_for_all (void)
This function blocks until all the tasks that were submitted are terminated. It
does not destroy these tasks.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun {struct starpu_task *} starpu_task_get_current (void)
This function returns the task currently executed by the worker, or
NULL if it is called either from a thread that is not a task or simply
because there is no task being executed at the moment.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_display_codelet_stats ({struct starpu_codelet} *@var{cl})

@node Explicit Dependencies
@section Explicit Dependencies

@deftypefun void starpu_task_declare_deps_array ({struct starpu_task} *@var{task}, unsigned @var{ndeps}, {struct starpu_task} *@var{task_array}[])
Declare task dependencies between a @var{task} and an array of tasks of length
@var{ndeps}. This function must be called prior to the submission of the task,
but it may called after the submission or the execution of the tasks in the
array, provided the tasks are still valid (ie. they were not automatically
destroyed). Calling this function on a task that was already submitted or with
an entry of @var{task_array} that is not a valid task anymore results in an
undefined behaviour. If @var{ndeps} is null, no dependency is added. It is
possible to call @code{starpu_task_declare_deps_array} multiple times on the
same task, in this case, the dependencies are added. It is possible to have
redundancy in the task dependencies.
@end deftypefun

@deftp {Data Type} {starpu_tag_t}
This type defines a task logical identifer. It is possible to associate a task with a unique ``tag'' chosen by the application, and to express
dependencies between tasks by the means of those tags. To do so, fill the
@code{tag_id} field of the @code{starpu_task} structure with a tag number (can
be arbitrary) and set the @code{use_tag} field to 1.

If @code{starpu_tag_declare_deps} is called with this tag number, the task will
not be started until the tasks which holds the declared dependency tags are
completed.
@end deftp

@deftypefun void starpu_tag_declare_deps (starpu_tag_t @var{id}, unsigned @var{ndeps}, ...)
Specify the dependencies of the task identified by tag @var{id}. The first
argument specifies the tag which is configured, the second argument gives the
number of tag(s) on which @var{id} depends. The following arguments are the
tags which have to be terminated to unlock the task.

This function must be called before the associated task is submitted to StarPU
with @code{starpu_task_submit}.

Because of the variable arity of @code{starpu_tag_declare_deps}, note that the
last arguments @emph{must} be of type @code{starpu_tag_t}: constant values
typically need to be explicitly casted. Using the
@code{starpu_tag_declare_deps_array} function avoids this hazard.

@smallexample
/*  Tag 0x1 depends on tags 0x32 and 0x52 */

@end cartouche
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_tag_declare_deps_array (starpu_tag_t @var{id}, unsigned @var{ndeps}, {starpu_tag_t *}@var{array})
This function is similar to @code{starpu_tag_declare_deps}, except
that its does not take a variable number of arguments but an array of
tags of size @var{ndeps}.
@cartouche
@smallexample
/*  Tag 0x1 depends on tags 0x32 and 0x52 */

@end smallexample
@end cartouche
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_tag_wait (starpu_tag_t @var{id})
This function blocks until the task associated to tag @var{id} has been
executed. This is a blocking call which must therefore not be called within
tasks or callbacks, but only from the application directly.  It is possible to
synchronize with the same tag multiple times, as long as the
@code{starpu_tag_remove} function is not called.  Note that it is still
possible to synchronize with a tag associated to a task which @code{starpu_task}
data structure was freed (e.g. if the @code{destroy} flag of the
@code{starpu_task} was enabled).
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int starpu_tag_wait_array (unsigned @var{ntags}, starpu_tag_t *@var{id})
This function is similar to @code{starpu_tag_wait} except that it blocks until
@emph{all} the @var{ntags} tags contained in the @var{id} array are
terminated.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_tag_restart (unsigned @var{id})
This function can be used to clear the "already notified" status
of a tag which is not associated with a task. Before that, calling
@code{starpu_tag_notify_from_apps} again will not notify the successors. After
that, the next call to @code{starpu_tag_notify_from_apps} will notify the
successors.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_tag_remove (starpu_tag_t @var{id})
This function releases the resources associated to tag @var{id}. It can be
called once the corresponding task has been executed and when there is
no other tag that depend on this tag anymore.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun void starpu_tag_notify_from_apps (starpu_tag_t @var{id})
This function explicitly unlocks tag @var{id}. It may be useful in the
case of applications which execute part of their computation outside StarPU
tasks (e.g. third-party libraries).  It is also provided as a
convenient tool for the programmer, for instance to entirely construct the task
DAG before actually giving StarPU the opportunity to execute the tasks. When
called several times on the same tag, notification will be done only on first
call, thus implementing "OR" dependencies, until the tag is restarted using
@code{starpu_tag_restart}.
@end deftypefun

@node Implicit Data Dependencies
@section Implicit Data Dependencies

In this section, we describe how StarPU makes it possible to insert implicit
task dependencies in order to enforce sequential data consistency. When this
data consistency is enabled on a specific data handle, any data access will
appear as sequentially consistent from the application. For instance, if the
application submits two tasks that access the same piece of data in read-only
mode, and then a third task that access it in write mode, dependencies will be
added between the two first tasks and the third one. Implicit data dependencies
are also inserted in the case of data accesses from the application.

@deftypefun void starpu_data_set_default_sequential_consistency_flag (unsigned @var{flag})

This function gets the current worker's CUDA stream.
StarPU provides a stream for every CUDA device controlled by StarPU. This

asynchronous operations within codelets without having to create a stream by
hand. Note that the application is not forced to use the stream provided by
@code{starpu_cuda_get_local_stream} and may also create its own streams.
Synchronizing with @code{cudaThreadSynchronize()} is allowed, but will reduce
the likelihood of having all transfers overlapped.

@code{starpu_task_wait_for_all()}. If @var{callback_func} is not @code{NULL},
this callback function is executed after the handle has been copied, and it is
given the @var{callback_arg} pointer as argument.

@deftypefun void starpu_execute_on_each_worker (void (*@var{func})(void *), void *@var{arg}, uint32_t @var{where})
This function executes the given function on a subset of workers.
When calling this method, the offloaded function specified by the first argument is
executed by every StarPU worker that may execute the function.
The second argument is passed to the offloaded function.
The last argument specifies on which types of processing units the function
should be executed. Similarly to the @var{where} field of the
@code{struct starpu_codelet} structure, it is possible to specify that the function
should be executed on every CUDA device and every CPU by passing
@code{STARPU_CPU|STARPU_CUDA}.
This function blocks until the function has been executed on every appropriate
processing units, so that it may not be called from a callback function for
instance.
