It's for Visual Studio, DirectX and Windows. It doesn't seem particularly compelling compared to things like Thrust.

This particular implementation is, yes. It sounds like they're taking the same path with AMP as they took with PPL -- a modern C++ interface, completely platform agnostic. Intel's Thread Building Blocks provides a compatible cross-platform implementation. If that's truly the case with AMP, then this could end up being pretty cool. Of course I haven't seen it yet... I can hope.

As far as I understand (from Herb Sutter comments in a video), ITBB doesn't have exactly the same interface than PPL. Am I wrong? It seems that in this domain, going cross-platform means using TBB and never PPL. Joël Lamotte

The PPL portion has the same interface. There's another portion Asynchonous Agents that afaik doesn't exist in TBB. -- Cory Nelson http://int64.org

In this talk Herb Sutter mentioned that it would be an open standard so that other compilers can also implement it. And although he didn't go into details, he also mentioned AMD is already working on providing implementation for other platforms. I assume it means OpenCL and/or non Windows I don't have link right now but amd's developer website has links to that key note. It was pretty interesting. -- Orhun Birsoy

I've just watched it now that it's available ( http://herbsutter.com/2011/06/16/c-amp-keynote/ ). Ok so that really will be portable. The restrict() is really the most interesting feature! Joël Lamotte
