The flow graph feature available in Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) allows users to easily create both dependence graphs and reactive, messaging passing graphs that execute on top of Intel TBB tasks. Users programmatically create nodes and edges that express the computations performed by their application and the dependencies between these computations. The Intel TBB library is then able to exploit the parallelism that is implicit in the graph structure, and the resources available on the target machine, to speed up the application.
