Threading Building Blocks offered the best combination of usability and performance – TBB consistently had the quickest coding times and, along with Cilk, had the shortest execution times and ...

Intel's James Reinders looks into the algorithms that form the heart of threading building blocks - a C++ template library for parallel programming.

In this scenario, just as in programming LabVIEW for multicore processors with multithreading, the implementation details are abstracted from the developer, and LabVIEW handles them at compile time.

With modern processors that contain a large number of cores, to get maximum performance it is necessary to structure an application to use as many cores as possible. Explicitly developing a program to ...

However, parallel programming using threads is complicated and hard to debug. When a thread modifies data that might be read by other threads, the programer has to insert proper synchronization.

The company is a champion of major parallel programming efforts and standards such as OpenMP [Open Multi-Processing], MPI (Message Passing Interface) and Intel’s own TBB (Threading Building ...

The Task Parallel Library is a set of types in the System.Threading and System.Threading.Tasks namespaces. The Task Parallel Library (TPL) has been updated in .Net Framework 4.6. A task resembles ...

A critical part of any parallel program is scalable memory allocation, which includes use of new as well as explicit calls to malloc, calloc, or realloc.Options include TBBmalloc (Intel Threading ...

Non-deterministic programs generally have the worst reputation for parallel programming, which often leads to the frustration of having programs that don’t run the same way, given the same data ...

Intel's James Reinders delves further into threading building blocks - a C++ template library for parallel programming. Written by ZDNet Staff, Contributor Sept. 23, 2007 at 9:47 p.m. PT ...
