Intel has updated the Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) to version
4.0. The library helps developers of parallelizing their applications,
which ultimately promises a better performance in multi-core environments.

The TBB 4.0 include several, sometimes large updates. So now the first
time with TBB 3.0, Update 5 eigeführte flow graph is fully supported ,
can be used to visualize including static and dynamic dependencies
between computations. Also new are now available memory pools of the
Threading Building Blocks supports with which the memory allocation can
be limited to the user specified regions. A concurrent memory queue
allows the prioritization of parallel tasks and concurrent with
unordered sets are accessible to developers via HashKey thread-safe
container for disposal, in which users can store objects.

The possibility of priority levels (low, normal, high) for tasks and
task groups to define and support the thread-safe, atomic operations in
the GCC update supplement to the Threading Building Blocks 4.0.

The TBB are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X for free under the
GPLv2 (with runtime exception) to download available. A commercial
version ($ 299) is provided by Intel.
