Kokkos Insights

What is Kokkos?

Kokkos is a C++ programming model that enables writing performance-portable code for parallel architectures. It provides abstractions for parallel execution and data management, allowing developers to write code once and deploy it on various hardware platforms, including CPUs and GPUs, without significant modifications. It's commonly used in high-performance computing (HPC) applications, such as scientific simulations, to achieve optimal performance on different hardware.
