The STE||AR Group has released V1.5 of HPX -- A C++ Standard library for parallelism and concurrency.

HPX V1.5 Released

The newest version of HPX (V1.5) is now available for download! This is a big release with many changes and improvements. We have added numerous new features, adapted a lot of facilities to improve C++20 conformance. We have also continued our work on modularizing and making HPX lighter, improved its usability, stability, and performance. Please see here for full release notes.

    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 features related parallelism and concurrency as specified by the upcoming C++20 Standard, 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 that tends to improve the parallel efficiency of our applications and helps reducing complexities usually associated with parallelism and concurrency.
