New C++ Sender Library Enables Portable Asynchrony

NVIDIA is excited to announce the release of the stdexec library on GitHub and in the 22.11 release of the NVIDIA HPC Software Development Kit. The stdexec library is a proof-of-concept implementation of the Sender model (or Senders) for asynchronous computing—expected to become part of the C++ Standard in C++26. Senders help you separate the logic of your algorithm – the work you actually care about – from the details of where and how it gets executed. Unlike the C++17 parallel algorithms, with Senders you can chain multiple asynchronous computations (like GPU kernels) without unnecessary synchronization.
