C++17 Parallel Algorithms in GCC and Clang (Thomas Rodgers)

Intel have offered to contribute an implementation of the C++17 parallel algorithms to libstdc++ (GCC) and libc++ (Clang).

This talk will cover:

• brief introduction to C++17 parallel algorithms and execution policies
• overview of Intel's implementation
• considerations and changes necessary to integrate a substantial 3rd party contribution like this
  into a standard library implementation.
• support for different execution back ends, tailored to the target platform
