# [nim-hpx - STE||AR HPX wrapper for Nim](https://github.com/ct-clmsn/nim-hpx)

[Nim](https://nim-lang.org) is a system language emphasizing productivity. [STE||AR HPX](https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx)

is a high performance computing (HPC)/supercomputing runtime

system. `nim-hpx` provides a STE||AR HPX wrapper for Nim.

`nim-hpx` wraps STE||AR HPX's asynchronous global address space and

parallelism feature set. `nim-hpx` provides Nim developers tooling to

implement HPC applications targeting single node/multicore systems and

distributed memory systems (multi-node/multicore systems).

### Currently Supports

* futures

* local/remote asynchronous function execution

* local/distributed `partitionedSeq`, `partitionedTable`

* parallel `foreach`, `reduce`, `transform`, `transformReduce`

### TODO

* channels

* collective communications

* SPMD support

* coarrays

* asynchronous remote method invocation on classes (components and component actions)

### Documentation

Please visit [the Wiki](https://github.com/ct-clmsn/nim-hpx/wiki/Main) for more details!

### Installation Requirements

Dependencies:

* pkg-config

* cmake

* hwloc

* papi

* APEX

* tcmalloc

* Boost

* STE||AR HPX

### Application compilation

* make sure all dependencies are installed

* update `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` making sure it points to `hpx_applications.pc` (usually `$(HPX_INSTALL_DIR)/lib/pkgconfig`)

* modify the `makefile` provided to compile the test program suite

### Running Programs

```

srun -n4 --mpi=pmi2 ./test_initfin

```

This library is designed to be run on an HPC system that manages

jobs using the following workload managers: [Slurm](https://slurm.schedmd.com), PBS, etc.

### Examples

The directory 'tests/' provides several examples regarding how to utilize this library.

### Licenses

* Boost Version 1.0 (2022-)
