The Ongoing Saga of ISO-C++ Executors

Explore the complex journey of ISO-C++ executors in this comprehensive conference talk from C++Now 2019. Delve into one of the most ambitious generic programming exercises in recent years as Daisy Hollman, Senior Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Labs, discusses the ongoing effort to design a standardized executors library for C++. Learn about the challenges of creating a concept-driven design that meets the needs of diverse domains, the significant changes made to accommodate different perspectives on execution, and the innovative mechanisms developed to express the vast array of behaviors, semantics, and properties of executors in generic contexts. Gain valuable insights into concept-driven design principles applicable to any generic programming project, and get an update on the progress of ISO-C++ executors, including the latest design iterations and future outlook for concurrent programming abstractions in C++23 and beyond.
