We are pleased to announce that Kokkos now has an HPX backend thanks to the work of Mikael Simberg from CSCS. This backend is the first backend capable of providing Kokkos’ asynchronous semantics on CPUs. It is fully functional including the task graph API. If you have time try it out and let us know how it goes. The backend is available on Kokkos’ “develop” branch: https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos/tree/develop and will be part of the Kokkos 3.0 release in May.

The Kokkos team is announcing the first Kokkos Usergroup Meeting to be held in Albuquerque New Mexico, USA April 23rd through 25th. The meeting will give the growing Kokkos community a chance to present progress in adopting Kokkos, exchange experiences, discuss challenges and help set priorities for the future roadmap of Kokkos. Projects are invited to give a 20 minute presentation. Application talks are encouraged to focus on technical and algorithmic challenges in adopting Kokkos and how Kokkos’s capabilities were used to overcome those.

Unfortunately we reached the capacity of our facility and can not accept more registrations.
