Hi, typically, *-dev is used to designate the packages containing the headers and other stuff to compile things yourself. So, I'll name the first of your tasks 'parallel-computing-master', or something like that.
We could also make a third task called '-dev' containing all .h and so on. Thanks, Mt.
