OpenSolaris 2008.05 - packaging update
By David Stewart (Intel) (83 posts) on June 12, 2008 at 8:15 pm

One of the goals of the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release was to make it easier to keep your system up to date, by downloading updated packages over the web. That way, you could get updates only to what you have installed, rather than getting an update to the whole world. (On a side note, I just [...]

Exception Handling and Cancellation in TBB - Part IV – Using context objects
By Andrey Marochko (Intel) (4 posts) on June 11, 2008 at 2:41 am
Comments (1)
After a good deal of theoretizing about various cancellation scenarios, we’ve finally reached the point where we can touch a bit more material substance (if one can say so about information☺). So let’s see how to use group contexts in practice. You can create an instance of task group context using any technique applicable to C++ [...]

The three advantages of open source
By David Stewart (Intel) (83 posts) on June 10, 2008 at 11:35 am

I'm working on a paper right now for a conference later in the month. Part of it is talking to the way the OpenSolaris community works and ways it can improve. I find myself writing prose that makes me sound smarter than I really am, and I get worried! Here is my simple analysis of the [...]

The user-driven evolution of tbb::pipeline
By Alexey Kukanov (Intel) (2 posts) on June 9, 2008 at 7:10 am
Comments (1)
The implementation of tbb::pipeline algorithm has been significantly reworked for the next TBB version, and the improvements were mostly driven by customers and community. Read this post to learn about the changes that have got into the product and those that have not, and comment on what other improvements you think should be done.

This is episode #3 of the series of 5 minute videos I am doing on OpenSolaris and our open source optimizations for Xeon. This one is on how we are actually helping you get better performance by taking advantage of new Intel processor instructions without any effort on your part as a developer or [...]

Exception Handling and Cancellation in TBB - Part III – Use cases with nested parallelism
By Andrey Marochko (Intel) (4 posts) on June 4, 2008 at 4:33 am
Comments (1)
Now that we’ve familiarized ourselves with the simple scenarios in the previous part of this post, let’s consider more complex, but nevertheless ubiquitous use case of nested parallelism (maybe it is even more widespread that non-nested usages). When we considered a standalone algorithm, canceling any of its tasks naturally caused unconditional cancellation of all its other [...]

The Concurrent Queue Container with Sleep Support
By Wooyoung Kim (Intel) (1 posts) on June 3, 2008 at 5:59 am
Comments (0)
The TBB Concurrent Queue container is a bounded first-in-first-out data structure. Multiple threads may concurrently insert items into it and take items out of it [1]. The main operations supported are push and pop. (The names may be misleading. Nonetheless, the TBB concurrent queue guarantees that an item inserted before another will be removed before [...]
