GSoC’18: Come and code a STE||AR Summer with us!
The STE||AR Group is honored to have been selected as one of the 2018 Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor organizations! This program, which pays students over the summer to work on open source projects, has been a wonderful experience for the past four years that we have been accepted by the program.
Google Summer of Code Statistics
After the Google Mentor Summit, we started to gather some statistics about our participation in Google Summer of Code. In Summer 2014, we were first time accepted as an organization. Figure 1 shows that since our first year we have increased the number of students mentored from two to six. Unfortunately, with an more students, the odd of a student failing the program increased. In 2017 we started to analyze the pull requests of our students. Here, we counted the open pull request at the last day of GSoC and the closed one one day later. In 2018 we started to analyze the ammount of applications we received .We also analyzed the amount of students per country of residence and continent of residence.

Abstract
HPX is “The C++ Standards Library for Concurrency and Parallelism”. So, implementing C++17 parallelism like N4409 is very important. Most of parallel algorithms are already implemented. But, still some algorithms are remained to be not implemented. My main
