Pro TBB
C++ Parallel Programming with Threading Building Blocks
by Michael Voss, Rafael Asenjo, James Reinders
DescriptionTable of ContentsDetailsHashtagsReport an issue
Pro TBB starts with the basics, explaining parallel algorithms and C++'s built-in standard template library for parallelism. You'll learn the key concepts of managing memory, working with data structures and how to handle typical issues with synchronization. Later chapters apply these ideas to complex systems to explain performance tradeoffs, mapping common parallel patterns, controlling threads and overhead, and extending TBB to program heterogeneous systems or system-on-chips.
What You'll Learn: Use Threading Building Blocks to produce code that is portable, simple, scalable, and more understandable; Review best practices for parallelizing computationally intensive tasks in your applications; Integrate TBB with other threading packages; Create scalable, high performance data-parallel programs; Work with generic programming to write efficient algorithms.
Who This Book Is For: C++ programmers learning to run applications on multicore systems, as well as C or C++ programmers without much experience with templates. No previous experience with parallel programming or multicore processors is required. 
Book Description
This book is a modern guide for all C++ programmers to learn Threading Building Blocks (TBB). Written by TBB and parallel programming experts, this book reflects their collective decades of experience in developing and teaching parallel programming with TBB, offering their insights in an approachable manner. Throughout the book the authors present numerous examples and best practices to help you become an effective TBB programmer and leverage the power of parallel systems.Pro TBB starts with the basics, explaining parallel algorithms and C++'s built-in standard template library for parallelism.
