HPX V0.9.9 Release Candidate 1 Available!

The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the availability of the first HPX V0.9.9 release candidate! Please checkout and test the new version by pulling from the release branch here on GitHub.  If you run into any issues, please let us know by submitting a bug report.  We want this release of HPX to be our most stable release yet!

In this release we have introduced several improvements including:

  • Completing the refactoring of hpx::future to be properly C++11 conforming
  • Overhauled our build system to support newer CMake features
  • Implemented half of the parallel algorithms proposed by C++ Technical Specifications N4104, N4088, and N4107
  • Remodeled our testing infrastructure which will allow us to quickly discover, diagnose, and fix bugs that arise during development

We would like to thank everyone involved with this release especially those who spent countless hours developing, bug fixing, testing, documenting, and listening to the occasional IRC rant.  We couldn’t have done it without you!

Welcome to the STE||AR Group’s New Site!

The STE||AR Group is an international collaboration of researchers who are committed to making applications scalable on today’s and tomorrow’s machines.  We want this website to provide a platform to support and promote our work.  Here you can find a community of researchers who are interested in sharing and building upon the best ideas in HPC.  We strongly believe that the best way to spread these ideas is to have them applied in real applications by an active user base.  The Libraries page provides links to software developed by our researchers for anyone to download and try out.  Please look at the library descriptions and see if any of this software applies to you!

In addition to providing demonstrations of our current work, we would like to also share and coordinate the direction of our group’s research.  We hope that by explicitly stating what we are currently working on and what we hope to work on we can entice internal and external collaboration. These collaborations are mutually beneficial as the pressure to fulfill new needs will improve everyone’s software.  Feel free to peruse our research interest on the Research page and see where you could fit into the mix.

Finally, we hope to use this site to distribute news and updates of the happenings of this group.  Please come back here to read about recent releases, publications, and conferences that  we are involved with.  If you are interested in our work or just have a few questions, please contact us at: fellows@stellar-group.org or visit our IRC channel #ste||ar on Freenode.  We would love to exchange our ideas with you!
