Intel® oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) library is a flexible and performant library for scalable parallel programming. It eases the task of adding parallelism to your C++/DPC++ application across diverse accelerated hardware. The best part is, you are not required to be a threading expert for leveraging the parallel programming capabilities of the library. Through the thread-safe concurrent containers, oneTBB supports functional and data parallelism. It is compatible with the standard C++ threading packages with an efficient coordination between CPUs and accelerators such as GPUs.
Arun GK, in his article, talks about some of the major features and advantages of oneTBB along with realistic implications of its parallel programming capabilities.
Article Highlights
The article gives an overview of oneTBB with its following aspects discussed:
- Transformation of the conventional parallel programming paradigm.
- Data-centric parallelism approach that adds scalability to your application.
- Compatibility and integration with other Intel® oneAPI tools.
- Benefits and practical impacts of oneTBB in the field of parallel programming.
