-Hydra is a C++11 compliant and header only framework designed to perform common data analysis tasks on massively parallel platforms. Hydra provides a collection of containers and algorithms commonly used in HEP data analysis, which can deploy  transparently OpenMP, CUDA and TBB enabled devices, allowing the user to re-use the same code across a large range of available multi-core CPU and accelerators.

 like GSL.

 * Generation of phase-space Monte Carlo samples with any number of particles in the final states. Sequential decays, calculation of integrals of models over the corresponding phase-space and production of weighted and unweighted samples, which can be flat or distributed following a model provided by the user.  
 * Sampling of multidimensional pdfs.
 * Multidimensional maximum likelihood fits using binned and unbinned data sets.
+* Multi-layered simultaneous fit of different models, over different datasets, deploying different parallelization strategies for each model.
 * Calculation of S-Plots, a popular technique for statistical unfolding of populations contributing to a sample.   
 * Evaluation of multidimensional functions over heterogeneous data sets.
 * Numerical integration of multidimensional functions using self-adaptive Monte Carlo and quadrature methods.
 * Multidimensional sparse and dense histogramming of large samples. 
 * Object-based interface to FFTW and CuFFT for performing Fast Fourier Transform in CPU and GPU.
 * FFT based one-dimensional convolution for arbitrary signal and kernel shapes.
 * Booststrap and real cubic spiline for datasets on CPU and GPU.

 Hydra also provides a bunch of custom types, optimized containers and a number of algorithms and constructs to maximize performance, avoiding unnecessary usage of memory and without losing the flexibility and portability to compile and run the same code across different platforms and deployment scenarios.

 Hydra and Thrust

 Hydra is implemented on top of the [Thrust library](https://thrust.github.io/) and relies strongly on Thrust's containers, algorithms and backend management systems.

+The official version of Thrust supports tuples with maximum ten elements. In order to overcome this limitation, Hydra uses an
 [unofficial version, forked from the original, by Andrew Currigan and collaborators](https://github.com/andrewcorrigan/thrust-multi-permutation-iterator). 
 This version implements variadic tuples and related classes, as well as provides some additional functionality, which are missing in the official Thrust.   
+In order to keep Hydra uptodated with the latest bug-fixes and architetural improvements in Thrust, at each Hydra release, the official [Thrust library](https://thrust.github.io/) is patched with the Currigan's variadic tuple implementation. 
 
-The version of Thrust distributed with Hydra is maintained by [MultithreadCorner](https://github.com/MultithreadCorner). It is basically a fork of Currigan's repository, which was merged with the latest official release available in GitHub (Thrust 1.9.7).

 Two important features related to Hydra's design and the backend configuration:
 
-* If CUDA backend is not used, [NVCC and the CUDA runtime](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit) are not necessary. The programs can be compiled with GCC, Clang or other host compiler compatible with C++11 directly.

 * Programs written using only Hydra, Thrust, STL and standard c++ constructs, it means programs without any raw CUDA code or calls to the CUDA runtime API, can be compiled with NVCC, to run on CUDA backends, or a suitable host compiler to run on OpenMP , TBB and CPP backends. **Just change the source file extension from .cu to .cpp, or something else the host compiler understands.**
