HPX version 1.0 approaches! The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the release of HPX v0.9.99 [1]. This release is significant as HPX is nearly feature complete. Over the next several months the STE||AR Group will continue to test and polish HPX's API and documentation. The feedback and experience gained from the community's utilization this release will provide guidance on where to add the finishing touches for v1.0. We would like to thank all the many people who have contributed to this release. This release incorporates nearly 1500 commits and has closed almost 400 tickets from collaborators all over the world. The easiest way to acknowledge the work of all contributors is to download the release [2], try it out, and report your success stories In this release we have introduced several significant changes. Most importantly, we finally finished the implementation of transparent migration of components to another locality. It is now possible to trigger a migration operation without 'stopping the world' for the object to migrate. HPX will make sure that no work is being performed on an object before it is migrated and that all subsequently scheduled work for the migrated object will be transparently forwarded to the new locality. Please note that the global address of the migrated object does not change, thus the application will not have to be changed in any way to support this new functionality. We have significantly improved the runtime performance and overall stability of HPX. Applications written using HPX have shown to outperform equivalent applications which are based on more conventional parallelization methods. We have also refactored large parts of the code base to reduce compile times and to further limit the dependency of HPX on third party libraries. For more details about these (and all other) changes please see the release notes [3]. For a full list of new features, breaking changes, and closed tickets please see our documentation [4].
