February NWCPP Meeting Announcement

[Lloyd Moore]

The Northwest C++ Users Group is pleased to welcome Rahul V. Patil as our speaker this month.  Amazon Digital is sponsoring our pizza for the meeting as well. Please join us for this meeting back in our regular room, at our regular time!

 

Time and Location:

February 15, 2012 at 7:00 PM, Microsoft Campus building 41/1511 (Townsend) (Building 41/1511 (Townsend))

 

 

Title:

Expressing Parallel Patterns in Modern C++.

 

Abstract:

We’ll do a lap around the most commonly applicable parallel patterns. The goal of the talk is to map each of these parallel patterns to equivalent C++ code, while taking advantage of the modern constructs in the language. We’ll demonstrate this by looking at the Parallel Patterns Library available in Visual Studio and Intel’s TBB. We’ll also look at some tools within Intel’s Parallel Studio and Microsoft’s Visual Studio that help identify, debug and analyze parallel programs.

 

This talk is for you, if you are looking to learn generally accepted parallel patterns and start using them in your C++ code. The talk will scale between 200 level and 400 level.

 

Note: The talk will not discuss C++ AMP, which deserves a full hour of its own.
