Abstract
Microsoft’s C++ AMP (Accelerated Massive Parallelism) is a C++ programming model and language extension that allows any C++ developer to take advantage of the massive parallelism available in today’s GPU’s. It offers a developer-friendly, lightweight, and portable interface that can enable programmers to achieve impressive performance boosts on a variety of hardware platforms. As an integrated part of Visual C++, it is also supported by a full suite of familiar developer tools including the editor, debugger, and profiler. This presentation will introduce C++ AMP and talk about its projected future as the hardware ecosystem evolves.
