C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (C++ AMP) is a new open specification heterogeneous programming model, which builds on the established C++ language. Developed for heterogeneous platforms/computing C++ AMP is designed to accelerate the execution of your C++ code by taking advantage of the data-parallel hardware that is commonly present as a GPU and multi-core CPU. This four day course is aimed at programmers who are looking to develop comprehensive skills in writing and optimizing applications using C++ AMP.

Delivered by Acceleware’s Developers (as opposed to trained trainers!), the course is designed for programmers looking to acquire comprehensive skills in accelerating applications through parallel programming. Read the rest of this entry »

Beyond3D’s first C++ AMP focused contest accepts submissions until August 31, 2012. The contest’s goal is to use parallel programming in order to speed up solving the Traveling Salesman’s Problem. All relevant details are provided on the contest’s dedicated page.
