Over 10 years after its first release, the Threading Building Blocks (TBB) library has become one of the most widely used C++ libraries for parallel programming. While it has retained its core philosophy and features, it continues to expand to address new opportunities and challenges as they arise.
In this chapter, we discuss the motivations for TBB, provide a brief overview of its main components, describe how to get the library, and then jump right into a few simple examples.
