STL algorithms and the GPU
In the future, the execution policies mentioned earlier in this chapter will hopefully be extended to support processing on the GPU, thus making all of the power available on a standard computer utilizable in C++. Nevertheless, there are already several libraries available that make GPU programming easily accessible.
As stressed earlier, if you have a code base built on algorithms rather than hand-crafted for-loops, moving it to take advantage of the GPU is far more accessible.
