Citing Kokkos
To help us track the impact of the Kokkos project and to ensure scientific
reproducibility, please use the following references when citing Kokkos in your
work.
Version-Specific Citations
For better reproducibility in research publications, we strongly recommend citing the specific version of Kokkos used in your work. Since version 5.0, every Kokkos release is archived on Zenodo with a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
- Find your version: Please visit our Releases Page to find the specific DOI for the version you utilized.
- Format: You can cite it as a software release (e.g., Kokkos Core v5.0.1, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18408291).
Thematic Publications
In addition to citing the specific software version, please cite the relevant papers below that describe the components of the Kokkos Ecosystem you used.
Overall Ecosystem
Use this citation when referring to the collective project or when utilizing multiple Kokkos subprojects (Core, Kernels, Tools).
