CppCast Episode 205: CMake and VTK with Robert Maynard

by Rob Irving and Jason Turner

About the interviewee:

Robert Maynard is a principal engineer at Kitware and spends most of his time as a primary developer of VTK-m. VTK-m is a HPC toolkit of scientific visualization algorithms for highly concurrent processor and accelerator architectures. It uses a fine-grained concurrency model for data analysis and visualization algorithms allowing for seamless execution on GPU's or many-core CPUs.

When not working on VTK-m, Robert is either; writing CMake code, teaching CMake, or working to improve CMake.

What the C++Now and CppCon are.

C++Now and CppCon, the View From Inside

by Robin Kuzmin

Topics:

  • What the C++Now and CppCon are. Brief history, purpose, and difference.
  • How to attend CppCon and get money for that.
  • How to attend C++Now and CppCon for free or partially for free.
  • How to avoid the expenses for the conference ticket, hotel, flight, pre-conf- and post-conf-classes.
  • How certain parts of the conferences work. Roles, tools, how one can participate and what it gives.
  • Future of C++Now and CppCon.
  • Annual time line of CppCon and C++Now. When to do what.

"Allegro" Means Both Fast and Happy. Coincidence? - Andrei Alexandrescu

The Italian C++ Conference 2019 keynote:

"Allegro" Means Both Fast and Happy. Coincidence?

by Andrei Alexandrescu

About the video:

Sorting and searching. Two fundamental tasks in Computer Science, and definitely among the most studied. Efficient algorithms for sorting and searching are now taught in core undergraduate classes. Are they at their best, or is there more blood to squeeze from that stone? This talk will explore a few less known – but more allegro! – variants of classic algorithms.

About the interviewee:

David ("Daveed") Vandevoorde is a Belgian computer scientist who lives near Princeton, NJ, USA. He is vice-president of engineering at the Edison Design Group (EDG), where he contributes primarily to the implementation of their C++ compiler front end. He is an active member of the C++ standardization committee where he is primarily active in the core language evolution work. His recent work in that context has primarily been about extending the capabilities of “constexpr evaluation”. Daveed is also one of the five members of the committee’s “direction group”. He is the primary author of the well-regarded “C++ Templates: A Complete Guide” (now available in its second edition).

CopperSpice: Declarations and Type Conversions

New video on the CopperSpice YouTube Channel:

Declarations and Type Conversions

by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim

About the video:

In this video we discuss typedefs and using declarations. We look at how to use typedefs to choose appropriate data types when working with containers, and discuss various issues you can encounter if the correct type is not used. We also examine the complex subject of type conversions, and investigate how type casts work and when they are valid.
