ViC*: A Preprocessor for Virtual-Memory C*

Abstract

This paper describes the functionality of ViC*, a compiler-like preprocessor for out-of-core C*. The input to ViC* is a C* program but with certain shapes declared outofcore, which means that all parallel variables of these shapes reside on disk. The output is a standard C* program with the appropriate I/O and library calls added for efficient access to out-of-core parallel variables.
