GLT: A Common API for Lightweight Thread Libraries

Introduction

GLT is a common API for HPC lightweight thread (LWT) libraries. This library joins the functionality of several LWT solutions under the same semantic. Concretely, it supports MassiveThreads, Qthreads, and Argobots as underlying LWT solutions. Moreover, Pthreads are also supported with comparative purpose.
