This article is about the C++ library. For JAM/STAPL programming of JTAG PLD's, see Standard Test and Programming Language.

STAPL (Standard Template Adaptive Parallel Library) is a library for C++, similar and compatible to STL. It provides parallelism support for writing applications for systems with shared or distributed memory.

Developer(s)	Texas A&M University Parasol Lab
Repository	gitlab.com/parasol-lab/stapl
Written in	C++
Type	library or framework

It was developed by Lawrence Rauchwerger, Nancy M. Amato, Bjarne Stroustrup and several grad students at Texas A&M University.

Components

• Components for Program Development
  • pContainers - generic, distributed data structures with parallel methods.
  • Views - equivalent of STL iterators, extended to allow efficient parallelism.
  • pRange - a parallel task dependence graph recursively defined as a tree of subranges.
  • pAlgorithms - parallel equivalents of STL algorithms.
• Run-time System(RTS) providing the following facilities:
  • Adaptive Remote Method Invocation (ARMI)
  • Framework for Algorithm Selection and Tuning(FAST)
