- Additional information
- The C++ specification, defined by the ISO, introduced a formal specification of concurrency in 2011. This paper is significant because it proposed simplifications to the C++ specification as well as the Khronos Group’s OpenCL specification. Hence, this work was instrumental in guiding changes to the ISO C++ standard. It resulted in Batty becoming a voting member of ISO Working Group 21, who define C++. It also established a working relationship with the Khronos Group who define the OpenCL GPU language, and led to the authors joining the group.
