Exception Handling and Cancellation in TBB - Part II – Basic use cases
By Andrey Marochko (Intel) (4 posts) on May 29, 2008 at 1:54 am
Comments (4)
After the long-winded introduction let’s consider the semantics of task cancellation and exception handling in TBB. The basic usage model of cancellation was shaped in order to cover the following primary use cases: Cancelling an algorithm when one of its tasks decides that the purpose of the algorithm has been [...]

Under the hood: Building hooks to explore TBB task scheduler

Little did I suspect as I was introducing the topic of blocking in parallel computation in my last post that it would generate such interest, even though it seemed a common problem I’d been working on privately with several Intel customers. Charles Leiserson amplified the pitfalls of employing blocking in a multi-threaded architecture and offered [...]

Exception Handling and Cancellation in TBB: Part I - The Past

The last stable TBB drop (tbb20_20080408oss) featured the first version of the exception handling and cancellation support in the library, and the upcoming 2.1 release will have a bit more mature variant of it. While the documentation is not yet available, in this blog I would like to outline the main usage models for this [...]

Hello, my name is Dave Sekowski. I am a program manager at Intel working on the Threading Building Blocks (TBB) project. This week I had an opportunity to talk with Chris Huson, one of the TBB developers who worked with Sun Microsystems to port TBB to Sun Solaris, about the collaborative effort to enable Solaris [...]

Porting OpenMP SPEC benchmarks to TBB.
By Alexey Murashov (Intel) (1 posts) on May 8, 2008 at 7:49 am

Greetings, everyone! I would like to share my experience in porting OpenMP applications to the Threading Building Blocks library. Last year I managed to port some of the SPEC OMP 2001 benchmarks to TBB. It's a well-known benchmark suite in the multi-threading world, that's why it was chosen. There are three benchmarks written in C: [...]

Under the hood: Learning more about task scheduling

I’m back with another challenge, encountered during my support work for Intel® Threading Building Blocks. I’ve been working with several TBB users who appreciate the general philosophy of Cilk task scheduling embodied in TBB but have run into some practical challenges applying it to their applications. Often the issue revolves around the need to block [...]

Poll Result: More Developers Are Learning about TBB
By Kevin Farnham (108 posts) on March 31, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Comments (4)
The March Threading Building Blocks poll suggests that the developer community is learning about TBB, but not that many developers are actively applying TBB in actual projects. The poll asked: At what project level are you currently applying TBB? 81 people participated in the poll, making the following selections: 75.3% (61 votes) - Just getting started (learning about [...]

I just finished adding new information to the Threading Building Blocks entry on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_Building_Blocks). I added information on what's happened since TBB became an open source project, and I also added two new sections: Open Source Operating Systems that Offer TBB Packages Open Source Projects that Apply TBB I consider Wikipedia one of the greatest new [...]
