c++ - STL algorithms and concurrent programming

Question

Can any of STL algorithms/container operations like std::fill, std::transform be executed in parallel if I enable OpenMP for my compiler? I am working with MSVC 2008 at the moment. Or maybe there are other ways to make it concurrent?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There are a number of projects that aim at having parallel STL type libraries:

1. OpenMP Multi-Threaded Template Library
2. libstdc++ parallel
3. HPC++ Parallel Standard Template Library
4. Parallel Patterns Library (shamelessly borrowed from AshleysBrain's answer)
