C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism, or C++ AMP, is a programming model for expressing data-parallel algorithms and exploiting heterogeneous computers using mainstream tools. C++ AMP was designed to offer productivity, portability, and performance. Developed initially by Microsoft, C++ AMP is defined by an open specification which takes input from multiple sources, including from AMD and NVIDIA. In this chapter we provide an overview of C++ AMP.
The focus of C++ AMP is to ...
