What is libgridtools-dev
libgridtools-dev is:
The GridTools (GT) framework is a set of libraries and utilities to develop performance portable applications in which stencil operations on grids are central. It provides regular and block-structured grids commonly found in the weather and climate application field, addresses the challenges that arise from integration into production code, such as the expression of boundaryi conditions, or conditional execution. The framework is structured such that it can be called from different weather models or programming interfaces, and can target various computer architectures. This is achieved by separating the GT core library in a user facing part (frontend) and architecture specific (backend) parts. The core library also abstracts various possible data layouts and applies optimizations on stages with multiple stencils. The core library is complemented by facilities to interoperate with other languages (such as C and Fortran), to aid code development and a communication layer.
