The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the release of HPX 1.2.0. This release is the first in our more frequent release schedule. We are aiming to produce one release every six months in an effort to get new features and stable releases out to users more quickly. As a result this release is smaller than many previous releases, but nevertheless contains many important improvements. This release includes among others performance improvements, a new implementation of hpx_main.hpp, scheduler hints, and many stability improvements. This release also removes many previously deprecated features. Make sure you read the full release notes to see which deprecated features were removed.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed from all over the world!

The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the release of HPX 1.1.0, 10 years after the first commit! This release contains 2300 commits since the previous release and has closed over 150 issues. HPX 1.1.0 brings users full control over how HPX uses processing units, improvements to parallel algorithms and many other usability improvements. This release would not have been possible without the help of all the people who have contributed bug reports, questions, testing, code and improvements to the documentation. Thank you!

This past week members of the HPX team were invited to give a talk on Jon Kalb’s weekly CppChat. Bryce Adelstein-Lelbach, Hartmut Kaiser, Thomas Heller, and John Biddiscombe were invited onto the show to talk about HPX, our programming
The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the release of HPX V1.0. While we call it version one, it is in fact the fifteenth official release of our library. This release has become possible as we now have implemented all the features we set out to put in place for this version.
HPX is the C++ Standard library for parallelism and concurrency. It implements all of the related facilities as defined by the C++ Standard. As of this writing, HPX provides the only widely available open-source implementation of the new C++17 parallel algorithms. Additionally, in HPX we implement functionalities proposed as part of the ongoing C++ standardization process, such as large parts of the C++ Concurrency TS, task blocks, data-parallel algorithms, executors, index-based parallel for loops, and many more. We also extend the existing C++ Standard APIs to the distributed case (e.g. compute clusters) and for heterogeneous systems (e.g. GPUs).
At its heart, HPX is an asynchronous many-task runtime system for the distributed world. It is portable in code and performance across a wide variety of architectures and operating systems. We have shown that it is usable on almost any machine from a Raspberry Pi to the biggest computers available to us. Applications relying on HPX will scale from small handheld devices up to machines with thousands of compute-nodes and millions of processors. For example, we have just successfully run an HPX application on the full NERSC Cori machine, a cluster with 9640 Intel Knight’s Landing compute nodes (655520 cores).
The new C++ Standard facilities listed fit perfectly with some of our extensions targeting asynchronous operations, such as asynchronous parallel algorithms, asynchronous task blocks, or dataflow constructs. As a result, HPX changes the way we write programs in modern C++. It seamlessly enables a new asynchronous C++ Standard Programming Model which tends to improve the parallel efficiency of our applications and helps reduce complexities usually associated with concurrency. At the same time, HPX’s API is strictly aligned with the C++ standardization process which removes the barriers of adoption.
The code base of HPX is very mature and of very high code quality. Our extensive testing has definitely paid off. Many people have contributed to this release — we would like to thank all of them for their efforts. This release incorporates nearly 1500 commits and has closed almost 300 tickets and pull requests submitted by collaborators from all over the world. We have introduced several important changes:

After nine years of development HPX version 1.0.0 is being prepared to ship! The STE||AR Group is exited to share this news, and therefore, has prepared a release candidate for users to discover the improvements that have been made since the last release. We encourage established users and new comers to test it out. You can download a tarball of the release candidate here:
Version 1.0 approaches! The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the release of HPX v0.9.99. This release is significant as HPX is nearly feature complete. Over the next several months the STE||AR Group will continue to test and polish HPX’s API and documentation. The feedback and experience gained from the community’s utilization this release will provide guidance on where to add the finishing touches for v1.0.
The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the first release candidate of HPX V0.9.99!

The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the release of HPX v0.9.11! In this release our team has focused on developing higher level C++ programming interfaces which simplify the use of HPX in applications and ensure their portability in terms of code and performance. We paid particular attention to align all of these changes with the existing C++ Standards or with the ongoing standardization work. Other major features include the introduction of executors and various policies which enable to customize the ‘where’ and ‘when’ of task and data placement.
