C++ AMP, Part 2 of 2: Memory Layout and Support
with expert John Stratton
In this course you’ll learn about how accelerator hardware is designed and integrated into the system. With that foundation, we can start talking about what you can expect from the system when you use various C++AMP features. Specifically, we will talk about data transfers to and from the accelerator, memory layout and memory accesses from the accelerator, and thread execution and control flow on the accelerator. Then we’ll cover what support Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2012 has for C++ AMP.
