Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) 2.2 introduces features based on joint discussions between the Microsoft Corporation and Intel Corporation. The features establish some degree of compatibility between Intel TBB and Microsoft Parallel Patterns Library (PPL) development software.
Each feature appears in namespace tbb. Each feature can be injected into namespace Concurrency by including the file "tbb/compat/ppl.h". Following is the list of features:
Feature | Link |
---|---|
parallel_for(first,last,f) | parallel_for Template Function |
parallel_for(first,last,step,f) | parallel_for Template Function |
parallel_for_each | parallel_for_each Template Function |
parallel_invoke | parallel_invoke Template Function |
critical_section | critical_section |
reader_writer_lock | reader_writer_lock Class |
task_handle | task_handle Template Class |
task_group_status | task_group_status Enum |
task_group | task_group Class |
make_task | make_task Template Function |
structured_task_group | structured_task_group Class |
is_current_task_group_cancelling | is_current_task_group_canceling Function |
improper_lock | Specific Exceptions |
invalid_multiple_scheduling | Specific Exceptions |
missing_wait | Specific Exceptions |
For parallel_for, only the variants listed in the table are injected into namespace Concurrency.
Because of different environments and evolving specifications, the behavior of the features can differ between the Intel TBB and PPL implementations.
