You're thinking of C++'s "executor", which is currently being discussed for addition to the standard. The parallel STL will use the executors once they're added to a technical specification. There's agreement on how integration this will work, and that it's the right thing to do, but executors don't have a fully agreed-upon API yet.

We (the C++ standards committee) discussed these things further this week :-)

Ah, thanks for correcting me. I've read about it year or more ago, a short article and I couldn't find it.

There are a lot of papers to follow, unfortunately. Listed here: http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/ http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/

You'll want to follow mostly Mysen's and Kohlhoff's proposals on executors.
