Writing a computer program that exploits parallelism available via multiple cores can be challenging. Fortunately, one can use the C++ Standard Library parallel algorithms to do many parallel tasks easily by adopting an algorithm-based perspective. This talk will discuss how to do this with current major C++ compilers, what to do and not do to achieve better performance, and other related practical aspects of writing parallel-exploiting software in C++.

 

Paul Preney is the on-campus representative for SHARCNET, Compute Ontario, and Compute Canada supporting researchers with high performance and advanced computing needs here at the University of Windsor and elsewhere in Canada.
