Legion is a programming model and runtime system designed for decoupling the specification

of parallel algorithms from their mapping onto distributed heterogeneous architectures.  Since
10
12
 
running on the target class of machines requires distributing not just computation but data
11
13
 
as well, Legion presents the abstraction of logical regions for describing the structure of
12
14
 
program data in a machine independent way.  Programmers specify the partitioning of logical
13
15
 
regions into subregions, which provides a mechanism for communicating both the independence
