This article explores the powerful parallelization and distributed computing capabilities of the HPX framework. Starting with installation on macOS, it walks through configuring, compiling, and testing HPX on a modest machine, highlighting key features like asynchronous programming, task-based parallelism, and HPX components. Whether new to HPX or looking for practical examples, this guide offers a hands-on approach to understanding and utilizing HPX in real-world scenarios.

A few months ago I discovered a Project from Louisiana State University led by Prof. Kaiser that designs and develops a new execution model for future high performance architectures. It’s called ParalleX and its C++ implementation is named HPX (High Performance ParalleX). It supports operating systems like Linux or Windows and several Build-Toolchains (GNU, MSBuild, CMake etc.). In this article we’ll use Windows 10 x64 and Visual Studio 2015 to build up the base structure of HPX itself plus a small collection of demos showing some of the key aspects of it. The sources can be found here. Building HPX Before we can […]
