HPX version 0.9.99 released -- STE||AR Group

By Hartmut Kaiser | Jul 18, 2016 05:28 AM | Tags: performance parallelsim heterogeneous computing distributed computing c++17 c++14 c++11

The STE||AR Group has released V0.9.99 of HPX -- A general purpose parallel C++ runtime system for applications of any scale.

HPX V0.9.99 Released

The newest version of HPX (V0.9.99) is now available for download! Please see here for the release notes.

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

From the announcement:

  • Version 1.0 approaches! This release is significant as HPX is nearly feature complete. Over the next several months we will continue to test and polish HPX’s API and documentation. The feedback and experience gained from the community’s utilization of this release will provide guidance on where to add the finishing touches for V1.0.
  • We have put a lot of effort into improving the overall performance and stability of the library. Applications written using HPX have shown to outperform equivalent applications which are based on more conventional parallelization methods.
  • In this release we finished the implementation of transparent migration of components to another locality (e.g. physical compute-node). It is now possible to trigger a migration operation without ‘stopping the world’ for the object to migrate. HPX will make sure that no work is being executed on the object while it is moved and that all subsequently scheduled work for the migrated object will be transparently forwarded to the new locality. The global address of the migrated object does not change, thus the application will not have to be changed in any way to support this new functionality.

From the article:

A special thanks to all the testers and bug reporters! There might still be problems and false positives in our code-analysis plug-ins (don’t forget that you can now suppress unwanted messages).

DynaMix - A new take on polymorphism in C++

By ibob | Jun 27, 2016 11:49 PM | Tags: None

DynaMix (Dynamic Mixins) is a new take on polymorphism. It lets the user compose and modify types at run time in C++

DynaMix released

From the release:

The library is a means to create a project's architecture rather than achieve its purpose. It focuses on maximal performance and minimal memory overhead.

DynaMix is great for the software architecture of systems with very complex objects including, but not limited to:

  • Games (especially role-playing ones or strategies)
  • CAD systems
  • Enterprise systems
  • UI libraries

The new Qt has arrived!

Qt 5.7 released

by Lars Knoll

From the article:

I’m very happy to announce that Qt 5.7 is now available. It’s been only 3 months since we released Qt 5.6, so one might expect a rather small release with Qt 5.7. But apart from the usual bug fixes and performance improvements, we have managed to add a whole bunch of new things to this release.

Building And Packaging C++ Modules In Vs2015--Conan's blog

Building And Packaging C++ Modules In Vs2015

by Conan's blog

From the article:

This post makes a brief introduction to the C++ modules (we wished C++17, but we will have to wait). Modules have already been experimentally available in an early implementation in CLang, and now Microsoft is also providing them in Visual Studio 2015. We will see their syntax and how to build them, as introduced in the Visual Studio Blog, and at the same time, we will show how to create and consumes packages with C++ modules with conan C/C++ package manager.

Expression SFINAE improvements in VS 2015 Update 3

by Andrew Pardoe

From the article:

Last December we blogged about partial Expression SFINAE support in VS 2015 Update 1. Some of the things we heard from you after that post are that you wanted better Expression SFINAE support, especially for popular libraries such as Boost and Range-v3. These libraries have been our focus over the last few months...
