What do you want in the next version of C++ AMP? – we are listening

  • 项目

Visual Studio 2012 includes the first release of the C++ AMP technology and hopefully by now you have had a chance to learn about and even better try your hands at it. We would like you to know that this first release is just a beginning and our team is actively planning new features and improvements for the next version of C++ AMP.

If you have a feature request or suggestion for the next version of C++ AMP, we would love to hear about it. Accompanying details of what scenarios would be enabled by your suggestion or how the suggested feature would simplify your use of C++ AMP, would be very useful, and are encouraged. Several of you have already been sharing feedback with us on our MSDN forum – it has been duly noted and we are sincerely thankful.

While we cannot guarantee all feature suggestions and requests will be fulfilled, we promise to sincerely listen to and include your feedback and suggestions in our planning process for the next version of C++ AMP. So if there is a feature or piece of functionality in your mind that you wish C++ AMP had, please let us know by responding on this thread on our MSDN forum.

 

Looking forward to your responses.

C++ AMP Team

    I'm looking for the next version of AMP to support executing things on CPU and GPU simulatenesoulsy and with load-balancing. This is pretty important for laprops/ultrabooks/etc, beacuse in this "client" sector, the perf of the CPU and integrated GPU is often comparable. So this is up to 2x in perf you may get almost for free.

    Hi. Sorry for the very late response.   I would love to see better support for zero-copy data sharing between CPU and GPU for hardware that support it. Current AMD APUs have some limited ability to do that using OpenCL but not (AFAIK) in AMP.

    Performance improvements for small problem sizes, to be on pair with opencl.

    I would like C++ AMP to work in the cloud.  I have some  places that would truly benefit where I only have a single core running thus cannot leverage Parallel.Foreach logic.

    @Dan Ritchie, Hey dan, can you provide more details about your scenario. Are you asking for a API support to generate Perlin noise? Please do email us more details (bobyg AT Microsoft Dot com) about your scenario when you get a chance.

    I would like to see support for dynamic memory allocation and deallocation through new and delete operators on the GPU. Also support for function pointers on the GPU

    I would like C++ AMP to add support for Windows XP, 2000 and 2003 OS too. Many people as still running older system.
