+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+StarPU: StarPU (runtime system for heterogeneous multicore machines)
+StarPU:
+StarPU: StarPU is a runtime system that offers support for heterogeneous
+StarPU: multicore machines. While many efforts are devoted to design
+StarPU: efficient computation kernels for those architectures (e.g. to
+StarPU: implement BLAS kernels on GPUs), StarPU not only takes care of
+StarPU: offloading such kernels (and implementing data coherency across
+StarPU: the machine), but it also makes sure the kernels are executed as
+StarPU: efficiently as possible.
