Parallelizing the Standard Template Library

Explore the implementation and performance of parallel Standard Template Library algorithms in this 44-minute CppNow conference talk. Dive into the STE||AR group's experience developing parallel STL within HPX, examining execution times and scaling. Gain insights into the benefits and potential limitations of incorporating parallelism into the C++ Standard Template Library. Learn how C++ is evolving to embrace parallel computing paradigms, addressing the shift away from frequency scaling in computer architecture. Compare C++'s approach to emerging languages like GO and Swift that actively promote parallel programming. Understand the growing importance of parallelism in modern software development beyond traditional high-performance computing applications.
