About:
Threading Building Blocks (TBB) is a C++ library that provides high-level, task-based parallelism abstractions. It enables developers to write scalable applications by managing thread pools and work-stealing algorithms efficiently. Its primary value is simplifying the development of multi-threaded code while maintaining high performance and portability.
Key Features:
  • Task-based parallelism
  • Scalable memory allocation
  • Concurrent containers
  • Parallel algorithms
Use Cases:
  • High-performance computing applications
  • Game engine development
  • Financial modeling and trading systems
Alternatives:
  • OpenMP – Compiler directives-based parallelism vs TBB's library-based approach
  • HPX – C++ standards-compliant parallel runtime with a focus on distributed computing
