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. |
