Extensions for parallelism

From cppreference.com


The C++ Extensions for Parallelism, ISO/IEC TS 19570:2015 defines the following new components for the C++ standard library:

Execution policies

The parallelism TS describes three execution policies: sequential, parallel, and parallel+vector, and provides corresponding execution policy types and objects. Users may select an execution policy statically by invoking a parallel algorithm with the an execution policy object of the corresponding type, or dynamically by using the type-erasing execution_policy class.

Implementations may define additional execution policies as an extension. The semantics of parallel algorithms invoked with an execution policy object of implementation-defined type is implementation-defined.

Defined in header <experimental/execution_policy>
execution policy types
(class)
global execution policy objects
(constant)
dynamic execution policy
(class)
test whether a class represents an execution policy
(class template)

Exception lists

Defined in header <experimental/exception_list>
exceptions raised during parallel executions
(class)

Parallelized versions of existing algorithms

The TS provides parallelized versions of the following 69 algorithms from <algorithm>, <numeric> and <memory>:

Standard library algorithms for which parallelized versions are provided

New algorithms

Defined in header <experimental/algorithm>
similar to std::for_each except returns void
(function template)
applies a function object to the first n elements of a sequence
(function template)
Defined in header <experimental/numeric>
(parallelism TS)
similar to std::accumulate, except out of order
(function template)
similar to std::partial_sum, excludes the ith input element from the ith sum
(function template)
similar to std::partial_sum, includes the ith input element in the ith sum
(function template)
(parallelism TS)
applies a functor, then reduces out of order
(function template)
applies a functor, then calculates exclusive scan
(function template)
applies a functor, then calculates inclusive scan
(function template)
