Shaping a Scalable Future
The STE||AR Group is an international team of researchers who understand that a new approach to parallel computation is needed. Our work is crafted around the idea that we need to invent new ways to more efficiently use the resources that we have and use the knowledge that we gain to help guide the creation of the machines of tomorrow. While we develop several software products, the library which is most heavily developed and core to our team is HPX.
HPX (High Performance ParalleX) is a general purpose C++ runtime system for parallel and distributed applications of any scale. It strives to provide a unified programming model which transparently utilizes the available resources to achieve unprecedented levels of scalability.
This library strictly adheres to the C++11 Standard and leverages the
Boost C++ Libraries which makes HPX easy to use, highly optimized, and
very portable. HPX is developed for conventional architectures including
Linux-based systems, Windows, Mac, and the BlueGene/Q, as well as
accelerators such as the Xeon Phi.
We envision HPX as a library which provides services to applications which makes writing efficient, maintainable, and scalable parallel and distributed codes much simpler than current popular paradigms. Currently HPX is used to develop scientific and industrial applications and in the future we hope to expand its influence to include common applications that touch our everyday lives.
