| PackageDescription |
HPX is a general purpose C++ runtime system for parallel and distributed
applications of any scale.
The goal of HPX is to create a high quality, freely available,
open source implementation of the ParalleX model for conventional systems,
such as classic Linux based Beowulf clusters or multi-socket highly parallel
SMP nodes. At the same time, we want to have a very modular and well designed
runtime system architecture which would allow us to port our implementation
onto new computer system architectures. We want to use real world applications
to drive the development of the runtime system, coining out required
functionality and converging onto a stable API which will provide a smooth
migration path for developers. The API exposed by HPX is modeled after the
interfaces defined by the C++11 ISO standard and adheres to the
programming guidelines used by the Boost collection of C++ libraries.
