It's a C++ template library that abstracts threading details, enabling programmers who are not familiar with multithreaded development to turn their applications into multithreaded applications that will take advantage of modern multicore processors. Threading Building Blocks is an open source project that was originally an internal Intel project. I think anyone who is interested in OpenMP should take a look at TBB. If TBB was available earlier, it would have saved me much effort in my assignments to multithread batches of legacy C and Fortran software. Since you're interested in parallel computing, I suggest that you take a look at TBB. Have you looked into Threading Building Blocks?
