Astaroth is a multi-GPU library for three-dimensional stencil computations. It is designed especially for performing high-order stencil
6
computations in structured grids, where several coupled fields are updated each time step. Astaroth consists of a multi-GPU and single-GPU
7
APIs and provides a domain-specific language for translating high-level descriptions of stencil computations into efficient GPU code. This
8
makes Astaroth especially suitable for multiphysics simulations.

34
> **Tip:** The library is configured by passing [options](#markdown-header-cmake-options) to CMake with `-D[option]=[ON|OFF]`. For example, double precision can be enabled by calling `cmake -DBUILD_DOUBLE_PRECISION=ON ..`. See [CMakeLists.txt](https://bitbucket.org/jpekkila/astaroth/src/master/CMakeLists.txt) for an up-to-date list of options.
