PATUS is a code generation and auto-tuning framework for stencil computations targeted at modern multi- and many-core processors, such as multicore CPUs and graphics processing units. Its ultimate goals are to provide a means towards productivity and performance on current and future multi- and many-core platforms. The framework generates the code for a compute kernel from a specification of the stencil operation and a Strategy: a description of the parallelization and optimization methods to be applied. We leverage the auto-tuning methodology to find the optimal hardware architecture-specific and Strategy-specific parameter configuration.
