On July 24, 2007 Intel announced an open source version of Intel® Threading Building Blocks (TBB) the award-winning C++ library for parallelism. It provides developers with parallel algorithms, concurrent containers, a task scheduler and scalable memory allocator. These “blocks” can be used individually or all together to simplify threading for performance. With TBB, applications can scale automatically for future multi-core processors.

TBB can help you thread like an expert. Show us how you bring the benefits of parallelism to your open source project and you could win the grand prize of an Intel® Core™2 Duo processor-based notebook or additional prizes of Apple Cash Gift Cards valued up to USD $1000.*

Coding with TBB Contest

Now through August 31, 2007, take a moment to tell us about your Open Source project -- how you used the TBB library and the benefits you’ve seen. Enter your project description and URL and you’ll have a chance to win. We’ll also recognize your project at the Intel Developer Forum Sept. 18-20, 2007 in San Francisco, CA.

Winners will be judged on the best implementation with TBB and greatest benefit achieved from using TBB in an open source project.*
