HPX is a C++ Standards Library for Concurrency and Parallelism. It
|
|
implements all of the corresponding facilities as defined by the
|
|
C++ Standard. Additionally, in HPX we implement functionalities
|
|
proposed as part of the ongoing C++ standardization process. We also
|
|
extend the C++ Standard APIs to the distributed case.
|
|
|
|
The goal of HPX is to create a high quality, freely available, open
|
|
source implementation of a new programming model for conventional
|
|
systems, such as classic Linux based Beowulf clusters or multi-socket
|
|
highly parallel SMP nodes. At the same time, we want to have a very
|
|
modular and well designed runtime system architecture which would
|
|
allow us to port our implementation onto new computer system
|
|
architectures. We want to use real world applications to drive the
|
|
development of the runtime system, coining out required
|
|
functionalities and converging onto a stable API which will provide
|
|
a smooth migration path for developers.
|
|
|
|
The API exposed by HPX is not only modelled after the interfaces
|
|
defined by the C++11/14 ISO standard, it also adheres to the
|
|
programming guidelines used by the Boost collection of C++ libraries.
|
|
We aim improve the scalability of today's applications and to expose
|
|
new levels of parallelism which are necessary to take advantage of
|
|
the exascale systems of the future.
