 * This example demonstrates how to use StarPU to scale an array by a factor.
 * It shows how to manipulate data with StarPU's data management library.
 *  1- how to declare a piece of data to StarPU (starpu_register_vector_data)
 *  2- how to describe which data are accessed by a task (task->buffers[0])
 *  3- how a kernel can manipulate the data (buffers[0].vector.ptr)

	 *  - the fifth argument is the size of each element.
