Google is your friend (second hit for "boost accumulator standard deviation"):

and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4316716/is-it-possible-to-use-boost-accumulators-with-vectors

        accumulator_set<double, stats<tag::variance> > acc;
        for_each(a_vec.begin(), a_vec.end(), bind<void>(ref(acc), _1));
        
        cout << mean(acc) << endl;
        cout << sqrt(variance(acc)) << endl;
