http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nativeconcurrency/" target="_blank C++ AMP ( A ccelerated M assive P arallelism) is a small set of open specification language extensions (two of them) and a single library (amp.h) that makes general purpose GPU programming (aka GPGPU) a first class, seamless experience in modern C++.
Youve been able to experiment with C++ AMP since the VS11 Developer Preview back in September 2011. We figured it was a good time to go C9 on the C++ AMP team. So, we did. Four interviews have been conducted that pretty thoroughly cover C++ AMP and the people who design, implement, and test it. C++ AMP is a great technology for native developers seeking to harness the power of the GPU using the language and tools they are already comfortable with. C++ AMP is also an open specification and well see other compiler vendors producing C++ AMP implementations for their target platforms soon—thats been the goal since Day 1.
Here, we meet the legendary http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/" target="_blank Daniel Moth . Daniels actually been on http://channel9.msdn.com/search?term=Daniel+Moth" target="_blank C9 a few times and his technical screencasts are among the very best that have been produced for C9 (please make more, Daniel!!). Daniel is the C++ AMP program manager (PM). PMs are responsible for documenting the vision, building the execution plans to turn the vision into a real project, manage the project to completion, ship the result of the project and to attract and work with customers to help them understand what the product means for them and why it matters to their business. Its quite a job. Daniel is one part of a team of engineers that consists of program management (Daniel), architecture (Yossi Levanoni), development (youll meet the AMP dev team soon, round-table style), and test (youll meet the AMP test team soon, hallway-tour style).
So, tell us what C++ AMP is and why it matters, Daniel. Give us some context and history. Whats going on here? Whats next?
Tune in and meet the people behind the restrict(ion)s, kernels, etc. Its GPGPU time on C9. Enjoy. <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Feeds/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:281c5aa4343f4bd7af959fe8015d1da0
