This conference talk explores how to harness the power of parallel algorithms from the C++ standard library in your projects. Uncover the benefits of parallel algorithms through story-based examples that make complex concepts accessible. Learn which algorithms can be parallelized and understand how their execution flow changes in parallel versions. Dive deeper into specialized algorithms designed exclusively for parallel execution to fully appreciate their capabilities. Explore various execution policies, their advantages, limitations, and the reasoning behind their design. Through a cohesive storyline connecting all examples, gain practical knowledge about implementing this powerful feature while understanding the underlying principles that guide its rules. The presentation includes access to slides and a survey for further engagement with the material.
