The Legate Core is our version of Apache Arrow. Apache Arrow has significantly improved composability of software libraries by making it possible for different libraries to share in-memory buffers of data without unnecessary copying. However, it falls short when it comes to meeting two of our primary requirements for Legate:. The Legate Core provides an API very similar to Arrow's interface with several important distinctions that provide stronger guarantees about data coherence and synchronization to aid library developers when building Legate libraries. These guarantees are the crux of how libraries in the Legate ecosystem are able to provide excellent composability. The Legate Core API imports several important concepts from Arrow such that users that are familiar with Arrow already will find it unsurprising. We use the same type system representation as Arrow so libraries that have already adopted it do not need to learn or adapt to a new type system. We also reuse the concept of an Array from Arrow. The LegateArray class supports many of the same methods as the Arrow Array interface (we'll continue to add methods to improve compatibility). The main difference is that instead of obtaining Buffer objects from arrays to describe allocations of data that back the array, the Legate Core API introduces a new primitive called a LegateStore which provides a new interface for reasoning about partitioned and distributed data in asynchronous execution environments.
