The STE||AR Group has released V1.2 of HPX -- A C++ Standard library for parallelism and concurrency.

HPX V1.2 Released

The newest version of HPX (V1.2) is now available for download! Please see here for the release notes. This release is the first in our more frequent release schedule. We are aiming to produce one release every six months in an effort to get new features and stable releases out to users more quickly.

    HPX exposes an API fully conforming to the parts of the C++11/C++14/C++17 standards that are related to parallelism and concurrency, extended and applied to distributed and heterogeneous computing, and aligned with the ongoing standardization discussions.

    HPX is a general purpose parallel C++ runtime system for applications of any scale. It implements all of the related facilities as defined by the C++ Standard. As of this writing, HPX provides the only widely available open-source implementation of the new C++17 parallel algorithms. Additionally, HPX implements functionalities proposed as part of the ongoing C++ standardization process, such as large parts of the C++ Concurrency TS, Parallelism TS V2, data-parallel algorithms, executors, and many more. It also extends the existing C++ Standard APIs to the distributed case (e.g. compute clusters) and for heterogeneous systems (e.g. GPUs).
    HPX seamlessly enables a new asynchronous C++ Standard Programming Model which tends to improve the parallel efficiency of our applications and helps reducing complexities usually associated with parellism and concurrency.
