Tiberiu, Thanks for showing interest in STE||AR Group projects. I would say common data structures that are used in either machine learning or graph algorithms might be of interest to you. You can look into Phylanx <https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/phylanx> to see examples of "tensors" and their applications in machine learning, or FleCSI <https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/flecsi/>'s HPX backend for examples of meshes and other graph data structures used in physics simulations.
As you probably can tell by now, understanding HPX <https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/flecsi/> is essential to all these projects. I would recommend you to start with examples included in HPX repo. Feel free to reach out on our IRC channel, #ste||ar on freenode ( https://webchat.freenode.net). There is always someone to answer your questions.
