C++ AMP: Accelerated massive parallelism with Microsoft Visual C++

Abstract

Capitalize on the faster GPU processors in today’s computers with the C++ AMP code library—and bring massive parallelism to your project. With this practical book, experienced C++ developers will learn parallel programming fundamentals with C++ AMP through detailed examples, code snippets, and case studies. Learn the advantages of parallelism and get best practices for harnessing this technology in your applications. Discover how to: * Gain greater code performance using graphics processing units (GPUs) * Choose accelerators that enable you to write code for GPUs * Apply thread tiles, tile barriers, and tile static memory * Debug C++ AMP code with Microsoft Visual Studio® * Use profiling tools to track the performance of your code
