DESCRIPTION:This presentation introduces Microsoft’s Accelerator system 
 which is a library that provides data-parallel arrays and operations which
  can be implemented on GPUs\, x64 SIMD multicores and FPGAs. The library c
 an be used from C++ or any .NET language e.g. C# or F#. We make the case t
 hat for certain kinds of computations this system provides a way to write 
 a computation once and then have it instantiated on wildly different kinds
  of computing resources. We will also highlight differences between Accele
 rator and other technologies e.g. CUDA\, OpenCL and Ct.
