TBB initialization, termination, and resource management details, juicy and gory.
Well, maybe more essential than juicy, and rather treacherous than gory. As I noted in my previous blog introducing a major task scheduler extension – support for task and task group priorities, TBB has been steadily evolving ever since its inception.
Task and task group priorities in TBB
What I like most about Intel® Threading Building Blocks (TBB) library is its incessant evolution. Having been first released almost five years ago and enjoying quite broad adoption in the software development industry since then, it still keeps growing new features at unabated pace.
Intel Academic Community at Supercomputing 08
The Intel Academic Community is sponsoring live and online events at Supercomputing 08 in Austin Texas, starting Nov. 17. Joins us at the show or on the Net for discussions on parallelism in the classroom and in the enterprise
1024cores: All about lock-free, concurrency, multicore and parallelism
It finally happened! I've launched a new web-site devoted to lock-free, wait-free and just scalable synchronization algorithms, multicore, concurrency, parallel computations, scalability-oriented architecture, patterns and anti-patterns, threading technologies and libraries and related topics.
Welcome to 1024cores!

TBB 3.0 and processor affinity
A week ago I started telling about a couple of new helpful features in the TBB 3.0 Update 4 task scheduler, and we talked about the support for processor groups – an extension of Win32 API available in 64-bit edition of Windows 7. The main purpose of processor groups is to extend Win32 capabilities to allow applications work with more than 64 logical CPUs.
TBB 3.0, high end many-cores, and Windows processor groups
Though I wrote my previous TBB task scheduler blog just a few days after TBB 3.0 Update 4 had been released, I ignored that remarkable event, and instead delved into more than two year old past. So today I’m going to redeem that slight, and talk about a couple of small but quite useful improvements in the TBB scheduler behavior made in the aforementioned update.
