This course covers the learning outcomes and goals of understanding the future of accelerator programming in C++. Students will learn about accelerator hardware models, different vendors, programming techniques for accelerators, concurrency, memory management, computation limitations, parallel primitives, and writing accelerator functions using various tools like C++AMP, HSL, and VexCL. The teaching method includes a presentation style with slides. The intended audience for this course is programmers and developers interested in exploring advanced C++ programming for accelerators.
