Working Draft, Technical Specification for C++ Extensions for Parallelism

by Jared Hoberock

Excerpt:

This Technical Specification describes requirements for implementations of an interface that computer programs written in the C++ programming language may use to invoke algorithms with parallel execution. The algorithms described by this Technical Specification are realizable across a broad class of computer architectures. ... The goal of this Technical Specification is to build widespread existing practice for parallelism in the C++ standard algorithms library.
