The Northwest C++ Users Group is pleased to welcome Don McCrady as our speaker this month.  Currently we DO NOT have a pizza provider lined up for this month – if you know of a group that would be interested in sponsoring us please let us know!

Time and Location:

May 16, 2012 at 7:00 PM, Microsoft Campus building 41/1511 (Townsend) (Building 41/1511 (Townsend))

Title:

Introduction to Microsoft C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism

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.

Bio:

Don McCrady is the development lead for the C++ AMP project. He has  worked for Microsoft for nearly 15 years in many diverse areas including COM services, workflow services, and concurrency programming models.  In his spare time, he is an avid (if highly frustrated) astrophotographer and amateur astronomer.

 

 

Thanks,

Lloyd
