Intel® Threading Building Blocks, OpenMP, or native threads?
Which API do you choose to introduce threading to your software application, if you have a choice? Is there one answer that always works? In this paper, we review different considerations that a developer needs to make when it is time to decide. The key areas to focus on are your development environment and the complexity of your parallel model. Let us compare capabilities and address considerations around coexistence of these APIs in your software.
