Seeing that we have had some threads regarding GPU support / concurrent programming here, I thought I'd share what I came across a while ago regarding GPU / concurrent support in the next version of Visual Studio C++. As a side note, it looks like C++ in the MS world will have a re-surrection, where they are even talking about more importance of old COM (I shudder).

Anyway, here is a couple of links to what I mentioned above:

Have fun!

It is high time that GPU and C++ start talking, indeed.

In general, you don't need COM; ATL is a template wrapper library for COM.

At this rate, C++ will definitely be around forever:)

Hi Daniel,

Yes, I totally agree with you regarding GPU and C++.

As for ATL - I used to teach it back in the days :)

Anyway, it will be interesting to follow the development of this, as well as seeing what the future of .NET will look like.

Hi Niels,
I hope this Microsoft effort is a big success because it will bring monster computing power to C++ with GPU as back-end. Hook GPU up to Excel?

Hope you don't mind a question.
BTW I use STL for Excel COM Addins for Comp. Fin. I can do a SINK_MAP for 1 button, but how does one get multiple buttons into the Tools menu?
Thanks

Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Sorry I cannot help you there - I have not been doing any C++ / STL/COM against Excel, in any shape or form. I can ask around though ...

Sorry Niels. I meant ATL, not STL :)

Demo 2 show the idea with 1 button.
 
In addition to AMP from Microsoft AMD had announced gDEBugger.

http://developer.amd.com/tools/gDEBugger/Pages/default.aspx

AMD gDEBugger is an OpenCL™ and OpenGL debugger and memory analyzer integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio.gDEBugger offers real-time OpenCL kernel debugging, which allows developers to step into the kernel execution directly from the API call that issues it, debug inside the kernel, view all variable values across the different work groups and work items - and all this on a single computer with a single GPU
