Description: After last year’s successful Heterogeneous and Distributed Computing in C++ for HPC BoF, there was popular demand for continuing updates on the progress of adding these capabilities into ISO C++. We are close to finalizing C++20, and this BoF will provide updates from active participants in the standardization process on what is possible for C++20 and for C++23.

There are a number of C++ frameworks for parallel programming, including HPX, KoKKos, Raja, C++AMP, HCC, Boost.Compute, CUDA, and more. SYCL, from Khronos, provides heterogeneous computing built on OpenCL and C++, and Codeplay has released ComputeCpp Community Edition.
