I’m Speaking at The GPU Technology Conference

So I got my talk accepted to GTC 2013. It runs from March 18-21 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. I went a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. At the time I made it a goal to come back as a speaker and now here we are! Hope next year’s is even better.

An Overview of Accelerated Parallelism with C++ AMP

Ade Miller (Principal Architect , Microsoft Corporation)

C++ AMP is Microsoft’s GPU programming technology. This presentation, by one of the authors of "C++ AMP: Accelerated Massive Parallelism with Microsoft Visual C++" (MSPress), gives an overview of C++ AMP’s features. The presentation will introduce C++ AMP’s algorithms and containers programming model and its two minor additions to the C++ language. By programming against a hardware agnostic data parallel accelerator model, rather than specific hardware, developers can future proof their applications to run on a variety of data parallel hardware. Several C++ AMP examples will be demonstrated, showing the array and array_view container types and the parallel_for_each algorithm. The examples will be extended so show how C++ AMP code can be optimized and then used with the Parallel Patterns Library on the CPU to take advantage of multiple GPUs and achieve further performance improvements with braided parallelism.
