#2782

C++ AMP Algorithms Library 0.9.4 Released

Finally there’s a new release of the C++ AMP Algorithms Library! It’s taken a while, largely due to other things, like CppCon taking up my time.

This release contains the following:

• New C++ AMP features:
  • AMP and STL algorithms no longer depend on DirectX scan implementation.
  • New implementation of amp_algorithms::scan that does not have a direct dependency on theID3DX11Scan and ID3DX11SegmentedScan interfaces.
  • The amp_stl_algorithms::copy_if and remove_if algorithms now use the the new scan implementation for improved performance.
  • Implementation of radix sort amp_algorithms::radix_sort.
  • New utility functions functions; log2, is_power_of_two, count_bits, padded_read, padded_write,pack_byte and unpack_byte
  • New namespace added for DirectX dependent features, amp_algorithms::direct3d. All DirectX code now in a separate header file amp_algorithms_direct3d.h.
• New C++ AMP STL features:
  • inner_product
  • minmax
  • pair<T1, T2>
  • rotate_copy
• New SAXPY example.
• Reorganized unit tests, consistent names and test categories.

Roadmap

What’s up next for the library? A port to Linux and more STL algorithm implementations and bug fixes.
