Contents
This course intends to make C++ programmers
aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the
C++ programming language in the field of sci-
entific computing.
Classes, inheritance, operator overloading, and
polymorphism are very suitable and powerful
tools for programming at a high level of ab-
straction. Unfortunately, especially the use of
these concepts is often very contrary to the ex-
pectation of high performance. Recently, new
techniques have been developed that help to
bring in line a high level of abstraction and high
performance. Some of these concepts are
template meta-programming, expression tem-
plates, traits classes, partial and lazy evalua-
tion.
During this course the cost of C++ abstractions
will be investigated and thoroughly explained;
several solutions to overcome the abstraction
penalty will be presented and applied during
the exercises.
Special issues of the Sun C++ Compiler will be
covered in more detail.
Prerequisite
Attendees should already have some ex-
perience with C++.
Cost
The workshop is organized in cooperation with the
Aachen University of Technology (RWTH) and
the Research Center Juelich and sponsored by
Sun Microsystems.
There is no fee. All other costs (e.g.
travel, hotel, and consumptions) are at your own
expenses.
