Short description

SuperGlue is a C++ library for task-parallelism, with data-dependent tasks.

The programmer divides the software into tasks and specifies which data each task reads and writes. SuperGlue then uses this information to deduce task dependencies, and executes the tasks in parallel while respecting these dependencies.

The source code and a tutorial is available at github: http://tillenius.github.io/superglue/
