HPC++ Introduction

The High Performance C++ consortium is a group that has been working
for the last two years on the design of a standard library for parallel

The goal of this effort is to build a common foundation for constructing
portable parallel applications. The design has been partitioned into two
levels.

Our approcach is based on a library, HPC++Lib, which is described in detail
in a later section. The key features of HPC++Lib are:
