商品描述
This textbook focuses on practical parallel C++ programming at the graduate student level. In particular, it shows the APIs and related language features in the C++ 17 and C++ 20 standards, covering both single node and distributed systems. It shows that with the parallel features in the C++ 17 and C++ 20 standards, learning meta-languages like OpenMP is no longer necessary. Using the C++ standard library for parallelism and concurrency (HPX), the same language features can be extended to distributed codes, providing a higher-level C++ interface to distributed programming than the Message Passing Interface (MPI).
The book starts with the single-threaded implementation of the fractal sets, e.g. Julia set, and Mandelbrot set, using the C++ Standard Library (SL)'s container and algorithms. This code base is used for parallel implementation using low-level threads, asynchronous programming, parallel algorithms, and coroutines. The asynchronous programming examples are then extended to distributed programming using the C++ standard library for parallelism and concurrency (HPX). Octo-Tiger, an astrophysics code for stellar merger, is used as a showcase for a portable, efficient, and scalable high-performance application using HPX.
The book's core audience is advanced undergraduate and graduate students who want to learn the basics of parallel and distributed C++ programming but are not computer science majors. Basic C++ knowledge, like functions, classes, loops, and conditional statements, is assumed as a requirement, while C++ advanced topics, like generic programming, lambda functions, smart pointers, and move semantics, are briefly summarized in the appendix.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本教科書專注於研究生層級的實用平行 C++ 程式設計。特別是，它展示了 C++ 17 和 C++ 20 標準中的 API 及相關語言特性，涵蓋單節點和分散式系統。它顯示，隨著 C++ 17 和 C++ 20 標準中的平行特性，學習像 OpenMP 這樣的元語言已不再必要。使用 C++ 標準庫進行平行性和併發性（HPX），相同的語言特性可以擴展到分散式程式碼，提供比訊息傳遞介面（MPI）更高層次的 C++ 分散式程式設計介面。
本書從使用 C++ 標準庫（SL）的容器和演算法實現的單執行緒分形集開始，例如 Julia 集和 Mandelbrot 集。這個程式碼基礎用於使用低階執行緒、非同步程式設計、平行演算法和協程的平行實現。然後，非同步程式設計範例擴展到使用 C++ 標準庫進行平行性和併發性的分散式程式設計（HPX）。Octo-Tiger，一個用於恆星合併的天體物理程式，作為使用 HPX 的可攜式、高效能和可擴展的高效應用程式的展示。
本書的核心讀者是希望學習平行和分散式 C++ 程式設計基礎的高年級本科生和研究生，但並非計算機科學專業。假設具備基本的 C++ 知識，如函數、類別、迴圈和條件語句，而 C++ 的進階主題，如泛型程式設計、lambda 函數、智能指標和移動語義，則在附錄中簡要總結。
