This Technical Specification describes requirements for implementations of an interface that computer programs written in the C++ programming language may use to invoke algorithms with parallel execution. The algorithms described by this Technical Specification are realizable across a broad class of computer architectures.
This Technical Specification is non-normative. Some of the functionality described by this Technical Specification may be considered for standardization in a future version of C++, but it is not currently part of any C++ standard. Some of the functionality in this Technical Specification may never be standardized, and other functionality may be standardized in a substantially changed form.
The goal of this Technical Specification is to build widespread existing practice for parallelism in the C++ standard algorithms library. It gives advice on extensions to those vendors who wish to provide them.
The following referenced document is indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO/IEC 14882:— is herein called the C++ Standard. The library described in ISO/IEC 14882:— clauses 17-30 is herein called the C++ Standard Library. The C++ Standard Library components described in ISO/IEC 14882:— clauses 25, 26.7 and 20.7.2 are herein called the C++ Standard Algorithms Library.

introduction (
Since the extensions described in this Technical Specification are
experimental and not part of the C++ Standard Library, they should not be
declared directly within namespace std. Unless otherwise specified, all
components described in this Technical Specification are declared in namespace
std::experimental::parallel::v2.v1

Unless otherwise specified, references to such entities described in this
Technical Specification are assumed to be qualified with
std::experimental::parallel::v2, and references to entities described in the C++
Standard Library are assumed to be qualified with v1std::.
Extensions that are expected to eventually be added to an existing header
<meow> are provided inside the <experimental/meow> header,
which shall include the standard contents of <meow> as if by
#include <meow>
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in the C++ Standard and the following apply.
A parallel algorithm is a function template described by this Technical Specification declared in namespace std::experimental::parallel::v2 with a formal template parameter named v1ExecutionPolicy.
Parallel algorithms access objects indirectly accessible via their arguments by invoking the following functions:
sort function may invoke the following element access functions:
RandomAccessIterator.
swap function on the elements of the sequence (as per 25.4.1.1 [sort]/2).
Compare function object.
An implementation that provides support for this Technical Specification shall define the feature test macro(s) in Table 1.

The header <experimental/execution_policy> declares a global object associated with each type of execution policy defined by this Technical Specification.
During the execution of a standard parallel algorithm,
if temporary memory resources are required and none are available,
the algorithm throws a std::bad_alloc exception.
During the execution of a standard parallel algorithm, if the invocation of an element access function exits via an uncaught exception, the behavior of the program is determined by the type of execution policy used to invoke the algorithm:
class parallel_vector_execution_policy,
std::terminate shall be called.
sequential_execution_policy or
parallel_execution_policy, the execution of the algorithm exits via an
exception. The exception shall be an exception_list containing all uncaught exceptions thrown during
the invocations of element access functions, or optionally the uncaught exception if there was only one.
for_each is executed sequentially,
if an invocation of the user-provided function object throws an exception, for_each can exit via the uncaught exception, or throw an exception_list containing the original exception.
— end note ]
std::bad_alloc, all exceptions
thrown during the execution of
the algorithm are communicated to the caller. It is
unspecified whether an algorithm implementation will "forge ahead" after
encountering and capturing a user exception.
— end note ]
std::bad_alloc
exception even if one or more
user-provided function objects have exited via an
exception. For example, this can happen when an algorithm fails to
allocate memory while
creating or adding elements to the exception_list object.
— end note ]
<experimental/exception_list> synopsisnamespace std {
namespace experimental {
namespace parallel {
inline namespace v2v1 {
class exception_list : public exception
{
public:
typedef unspecified iterator;
size_t size() const noexcept;
iterator begin() const noexcept;
iterator end() const noexcept;
const char* what() const noexcept override;
};
}
}
}
}
The class exception_list owns a sequence of exception_ptr objects. The parallel
algorithms may use the exception_list to communicate uncaught exceptions encountered during parallel execution to the
caller of the algorithm.
The type exception_list::iterator shall fulfill the requirements of
ForwardIterator.
size_t size() const noexcept; exception_ptr objects contained within the exception_list.
iterator begin() const noexcept; exception_ptr object contained within the exception_list.
iterator end() const noexcept; const char* what() const noexcept override;
Function objects passed into parallel algorithms as objects of type BinaryPredicate,
Compare, and BinaryOperation shall not directly or indirectly modify
objects via their arguments.
Parallel algorithms have template parameters named ExecutionPolicy which describe
the manner in which the execution of these algorithms may be parallelized and the manner in
which they apply the element access functions.
The invocations of element access functions in parallel algorithms invoked with an execution
policy object of type sequential_execution_policy execute in sequential order in
the calling thread.
The invocations of element access functions in parallel algorithms invoked with an execution
policy object of type parallel_execution_policy are permitted to execute in an
unordered fashion in either the invoking thread or in a thread implicitly created by the library
to support parallel algorithm execution. Any such invocations executing in the same thread are
indeterminately sequenced with respect to each other.
using namespace std::experimental::parallel;
int a[] = {0,1};
std::vector<int> v;
for_each(par, std::begin(a), std::end(a), [&](int i) {
v.push_back(i*2+1);
});
The program above has a data race because of the unsynchronized access to the container
v.
— end example ]
using namespace std::experimental::parallel;
std::atomic<int> x = 0;
int a[] = {1,2};
for_each(par, std::begin(a), std::end(a), [&](int n) {
x.fetch_add(1, std::memory_order_relaxed);
// spin wait for another iteration to change the value of x
while (x.load(std::memory_order_relaxed) == 1) { }
});
The above example depends on the order of execution of the iterations, and is therefore
undefined (may deadlock).
— end example ]
using namespace std::experimental::parallel;
int x=0;
std::mutex m;
int a[] = {1,2};
for_each(par, std::begin(a), std::end(a), [&](int) {
m.lock();
++x;
m.unlock();
});
The above example synchronizes access to object x ensuring that it is
incremented correctly.
— end example ]
The invocations of element access functions in parallel algorithms invoked with an execution
policy of type parallel_vector_execution_policy
are permitted to execute in an unordered fashion in unspecified threads, and unsequenced
with respect to one another within each thread.
parallel_vector_execution_policy allows the execution of element access functions to be
interleaved on a single thread, synchronization, including the use of mutexes, risks deadlock. Thus the
synchronization with parallel_vector_execution_policy is restricted as follows:
A standard library function is vectorization-unsafe if it is specified to synchronize with
another function invocation, or another function invocation is specified to synchronize with it, and if
it is not a memory allocation or deallocation function. Vectorization-unsafe standard library functions
may not be invoked by user code called from parallel_vector_execution_policy algorithms.
using namespace std::experimental::parallel;
int x=0;
std::mutex m;
int a[] = {1,2};
for_each(par_vec, std::begin(a), std::end(a), [&](int) {
m.lock();
++x;
m.unlock();
});
The above program is invalid because the applications of the function object are not
guaranteed to run on different threads.
— end example ]
m.lock on the same thread, which may deadlock.
— end note ]
parallel_execution_policy or the
parallel_vector_execution_policy invocation allow the implementation to fall back to
sequential execution if the system cannot parallelize an algorithm invocation due to lack of
resources.
— end note ]
Algorithms invoked with an execution policy object of type execution_policy
execute internally as if invoked with the contained execution policy object.
The semantics of parallel algorithms invoked with an execution policy object of implementation-defined type are implementation-defined.
ExecutionPolicy algorithm overloads
The Parallel Algorithms Library provides overloads for each of the algorithms named in
Table 1, corresponding to the algorithms with the same name in the C++ Standard Algorithms Library.
For each algorithm in ExecutionPolicy, which shall be the first template parameter.
In addition, each such overload shall have the new function parameter as the
first function parameter of type ExecutionPolicy&&.
Unless otherwise specified, the semantics of ExecutionPolicy algorithm overloads
are identical to their overloads without.
Parallel algorithms shall not participate in overload resolution unless
is_execution_policy<decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>>::value is true.

The class task_cancelled_exception defines the type of objects thrown by
task_block::run or task_block::wait if they detect than an
exception is pending within the current parallel block. See

The class task_block defines an interface for forking and joining parallel tasks. The define_task_block and define_task_block_restore_thread function templates create an object of type task_block and pass a reference to that object to a user-provided function object.
An object of class task_block cannot be constructed,
destroyed, copied, or moved except by the implementation of the task
block library. Taking the address of a task_block object via operator& is ill-formed. Obtaining its address by any other means (including addressof) results in a pointer with an unspecified value; dereferencing such a pointer results in undefined behavior.
A task_block is active if it was created by the nearest enclosing task block, where “task block” refers to an
invocation of define_task_block or define_task_block_restore_thread and “nearest enclosing” means the most
recent invocation that has not yet completed. Code designated for execution in another thread by means other
than the facilities in this section (e.g., using thread or async) are not enclosed in the task block and a
task_block passed to (or captured by) such code is not active within that code. Performing any operation on a
task_block that is not active results in undefined behavior.
When the argument to task_block::run is called, no task_block is active, not even the task_block on which run was called.
(The function object should not, therefore, capture a task_block from the surrounding block.)
define_task_block([&](auto& tb) {
tb.run([&]{
tb.run([] { f(); }); // Error: tb is not active within run
define_task_block([&](auto& tb2) { // Define new task block
tb2.run(f);
...
});
});
...
});

*this shall be the active task_block.
DECAY_COPY(std::forward<F>(f))(), where DECAY_COPY(std::forward<F>(f))
is evaluated synchronously within the current thread. The call to the resulting copy of the function object is
permitted to run on an unspecified thread created by the implementation in an unordered fashion relative to
the sequence of operations following the call to run(f) (the continuation), or indeterminately sequenced
within the same thread as the continuation. The call to run synchronizes with the call to the function
object. The completion of the call to the function object synchronizes with the next invocation of wait on
the same task_block or completion of the nearest enclosing task block (i.e., the define_task_block or
define_task_block_restore_thread that created this task_block).
task_cancelled_exception, as described in run function may return on a thread other than the one on which it was called; in such cases,
completion of the call to run synchronizes with the continuation.
run is ordered similarly to an ordinary function call in a single thread.

define_task_block function may return on a thread other than the one on which it was called
unless there are no task blocks active on entry to define_task_block (see define_task_block returns on a different thread,
it synchronizes with operations following the call. define_task_block_restore_thread
function always returns on the same thread as the one on which it was called.
f will (directly or indirectly) call tb.run(function-object).
Every task_block has an associated exception list. When the task block starts, its associated exception list is empty.
When an exception is thrown from the user-provided function object passed to define_task_block or
define_task_block_restore_thread, it is added to the exception list for that task block. Similarly, when
an exception is thrown from the user-provided function object passed into task_block::run, the exception
object is added to the exception list associated with the nearest enclosing task block. In both cases, an
implementation may discard any pending tasks that have not yet been invoked. Tasks that are already in
progress are not interrupted except at a call to task_block::run or task_block::wait as described below.
If the implementation is able to detect that an exception has been thrown by another task within
the same nearest enclosing task block, then task_block::run or task_block::wait may throw
task_canceled_exception; these instances of task_canceled_exception are not added to the exception
list of the corresponding task block.
When a task block finishes with a non-empty exception list, the exceptions are aggregated into an exception_list object, which is then thrown from the task block.
The order of the exceptions in the exception_list object is unspecified.
