In Part 6, we provide links to Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB).
TBB offers a rich and complete approach to expressing parallelism in a C++ program. It is a library that helps you take advantage of multi-core processor performance without having to be a threading expert. Threading Building Blocks is not just a threads-replacement library. It represents a higher-level, task-based parallelism that abstracts platform details and threading mechanism for performance and scalability and performance.
Here is a simple tutorial that gives a quick example of how to use Intel’s Thread Building Blocks, by means of a simple example. The TBB version used in this tutorial is TBB 2.0, but you can download stable 2.1 release from here.
Here are some more interesting tutorials.
