== '''Intel Threading building blocks''' ==
'''Overview'''
- Intel Threading Building Blocks (IntelTBB) is a C++ library that simplifies threading for performance
- Move the level at which you program from threads to tasks
- Let the run-time library worry about how many threads to use, scheduling, cache etc.
- Committed to: compiler independence, processor independence, OS independence
'''Benefits of TBB'''
- Intel Threading Building Blocks enables you to specify a task instead of threads
- Intel Threading Building Blocks targets threading performance
- Intel Threading Building Blocks is compatible with other threading packages
- Intel Threading Building Blocks emphasizes scalable data parallel programming
- Intel Threading Building Blocks relies on generic programming
'''TBB is a collection of components for parallel programming:'''
- ''Basic algorithms'': parallel_for, parallel_reduce, parallel_scan
- ''Advanced algorithms'': parallel_while, parallel_do, parallel_pipeline, parallel_sort
- ''Containers'': concurrent_queue, concurrent_priority_queue, concurrent_vector, concurrent_hash_map
- ''Memory allocation'': scalable_malloc, scalable_free, scalable_realloc, scalable_calloc, scalable_allocator, cache_aligned_allocator
- ''Mutual exclusion'': mutex, spin_mutex, queuing_mutex, spin_rw_mutex, queuing_rw_mutex, recursive_mutex
- ''Atomic operations'': fetch_and_add, fetch_and_increment, fetch_and_decrement, compare_and_swap, fetch_and_store
