In the last blog, I gave a crash course on how to create an Intel® parallel_for with lambda expressions, which is another way of letting the compiler do the tedious work of creating a function object. I’d like to give a few high-level descriptions of some Generic Parallel Algorithms included in Intel® TBB to let you know what’s possible. In teaching new ways to parallel program, sometimes it’s good to first understand what you could do in a given situation rather than diving into detailed steps on how to do it exactly right. First of all, you’ll probably forget all those detailed steps by the next morning, but second of all, you’ll remember that you heard “something like such and such was in the API already.” Then you can look into the User’s Guide, Reference Manual, and/or Tutorial and probably save yourself a half day of work by not reinventing the wheel.
