Implementation of n3554, a proposal to include parallelized versions of the STL algorithms into the C++ standard.

N4354 Implementation

Overview

This repository contains a parallel version of the STL algorithms as a proof of concept for a C++ extension proposal. It was filed as n3554 and then became n3850, then n3960, then N4354 (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4354.pdf).

This project is in a very early stage. We plan to first implement an integration suite based on the current STL algorithms, then implement the sequential policy and finally a parallel policy based on std::thread.

We will also try to draft a documentation in the wiki, largely inspired by the cppreference website.

The goal is to make is as easy as possible for people to implement and test their own execution policies, once the standard parallel and sequential ones are implemented.
