About

In response to the demand for heterogeneous programming models for C/C++, and the interest in driving these models in ISO C++, Distributed & Heterogeneous Programming in C/C++ includes all the programming models that have been designed to support heterogeneous programming in C and C++.

Many models now exist including SYCL, HPX, KoKKos, Raja, C++AMP, HCC, Boost.Compute, and CUDA to name a few. This conference aims to address the needs of both HPC and the consumer/embedded community where a number of C++ parallel programming frameworks have been developed to address the needs of multi-threaded and distributed applications. The C++11/14/17 International Standards have introduced new tools for parallel programming to the language, and the ongoing standardization effort is developing additional features which will enable support for heterogeneous and distributed parallelism into ISO C++ 20/23. This conference is an ideal place to discuss research in this domain, consolidate usage experience, and share new directions to support new hardware and memory models with the aim of passing that experience to ISO C and C++.

Call for Papers

You can submit your proposals for papers to our Easychair page. The closing date for the CFP is 16th February 2018.

Registration

Distributed & Heterogeneous Programming for C/C++ (DHPCC++) will take place on the workshop track of the International Workshop on OpenCL (IWOCL 18). IWOCL 2018 will be held in Oxford, UK, on May 14-16, 2018.

Registration for DHPCC++’18 will be completed on the IWOCL 2018 Conference website.
