C++17 parallel algorithms and HIPSTDPAR
- 18 April 2024
The C++17 standard added the concept of parallel algorithms to the
pre-existing C++ Standard Library. The parallel version of algorithms like
std::transform maintain the same signature as the regular serial version,
except for the addition of an extra parameter specifying the
execution policy to use. This flexibility allows users that are already
using the C++ Standard Library algorithms to take advantage of multi-core
architectures by just introducing minimal changes to their code.
