C++ Lambdas, Threads, std::async and Parallel Algorithms--Bartlomiej Filipek

How do you use them?

C++ Lambdas, Threads, std::async and Parallel Algorithms

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

In articles about lambda expression (like this one from last week on my page), it’s easy to show examples where the lambda runs on the same thread as the caller. But how about asynchronous cases? What if your lambda is called on a separate thread? What problems you might encounter there.

Read on and let’s explore this topic...

Announcing Meeting C++ 2020!

Today I have the honor to give the kick-off for the official planning and participation in Meeting C++2020:

Announcing Meeting C++ 2020

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Meeting C++ returns with its 2020 conference edition! Like in the previous years, we'll be meeting in Berlin from the 12. - 14th November!

With the current situation of COVID-19, planning events for this year is difficult, though I have decided to go ahead and start the preparations for Meeting C++ 2020! I will keep you posted through out 2020 on the changes for this years conference!

HPX V1.4.1 released -- STE||AR Group

The STE||AR Group has released V1.4.1 of HPX -- A C++ Standard library for parallelism and concurrency.

HPX V1.4.1 Released

The newest version of HPX (V1.4.1) is now available for download! This is mostly a bug-fix release that fixes problems found in the previous HPX V1.4.0. Please see here for a full list of resolved issues.

    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 that tends to improve the parallel efficiency of our applications and helps reducing complexities usually associated with parellism and concurrency.
